Good result from surprise visit

-

A VALLEY care home has achieved a ‘Good’ rating following a surprise inspection.

Haslingden Hall care home received the grade from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) when its report was published earlier this month.

CQC inspectors undertook an unannounce­d visit on January 23 and 25 at the home which provides care for up to 76 older people.

The report praised the home’s treatment and training. It said: “Staff told us and records confirmed that staff received up to date training to enable them to fulfil their role.

“There was a comprehens­ive induction programme that was completed by staff on commenceme­nt of their role.”

Emma Bingham, the home’s registered manager, said: “The report is a credit to the staff and a highlight for the home.

“We know that we have a really strong sense of community and interactio­n with our residents and their families, and it means a lot to have this reported here. We are pleased that the home community is happy here, we do our very best to create a home-from-home environmen­t, and to create a sense of occasion in everything we do, from sitting down to an evening meal, to sharing events and activities.”
