Honresfeld Leonard Cheshire Disability Care Home, in Littleborough, requires improvement, says the Care Quality Commission.

Honresfeld was inspected on 1 September.

The home provides 28 single bedrooms for people with physical disabilities who are over the age of 18, provides 24 hour nursing care and has a wide range of equipment and facilities to assist people with their care needs.

On the date of the inspection 23 people were accommodated at the home.

Out of five inspected areas, three of those were deemed as requiring improvement by inspectors.

The report states that the service was not always safe. Risk assessments and care plans were not reviewed regularly in order to ensure that they reflected the current needs of the people using the service.

Members of staff were supported to access training appropriate to their role. However, regular supervision meetings to check staff performance and discuss training needs were not taking place.

Inspectors noticed that the registered manager was absent from duty on the day of the inspection but staff members said the deputy manager was approachable and supporting.

Honresfeld Care Home was contacted for comment but had not responded at the time of publication.
