Greenan Manor Care Home, on Tiree Avenue, was graded ‘good’ across three quality indicators.
A nursing home on the outskirts of Ayr has been given a clean bill of health by the Care Inspectorate.
Greenan Manor Care Home, on Tiree Avenue, was graded ‘good’ across three quality indicators.
It follows an unannounced inspection by the Care Inspectorate in November with their findings now published.
Among the key messages the Care Inspectorate said there was “good feedback” about the new management team at the home.
And self evaluations and improvement plans were “in place” and “well written.”
In addition, inspectors noted “good team dynamics,” with staff “clearly working well together.”
There was also a competent and professional nursing staff, with “good experience and knowledge” leading the team.
Greenan Manor is a care home for older people in the Doonfoot area of Ayr. The service provides nursing and residential care for up to 52 people. At the time of this inspection there were 41 people living in the service.
An extract from the Care Inspectorate report said “several strengths” impacted positively on outcomes for people and “clearly outweighed areas for improvement.”
The report continues: “People benefit from a high-quality environment that promotes their comfort and wellbeing. The home offers well-presented décor, quiet seating areas, and expansive views, which contribute positively to people’s sense of well being.
“The care home environment was very well presented and benefited from spacious lounges and dining areas to quieter spaces where people could sit with visitors or just look across the views of the Ayrshire coastline across to Arran. The environment helped to create a nice welcoming atmosphere and make people feel good and support their health and well being.”
People living in the care home experienced “good standards of care and support,” according to the report, that helped to “maintain their health and wellbeing.”
“Staff we observed demonstrated a caring and respectful approach, and there was evidence that people’s choices and preferences were considered in daily routines, such as meal choices and activities,” the report reveals.
In the quality indicators relating to staff team, supporting people’s wellbeing and planned care and support, these were all graded ‘good.’
The report adds: “We did hear comments about staff being stretched or not enough of them. However, we were satisfied the management would review staffing levels in response to increased demands and occupancy levels.”
