RESIDENTS have praised the care and support they receive at Sunrise of Mobberley.

The compliments feature in a report on the care home by care watchdog, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which rated the home as ‘good’.

The rating followed an unannounced inspection by the CQC in November.

At the previous inspection in May 2016 the commission identified two breaches of the legal requirements in respect of the deployment of staff and the safe management of medicines.

At the latest inspection the commission found that improvements had been made and the relevant requirements had been met.

Sunrise of Mobberley is in Hall Lane, and cares for up to 108 people across two units, each of which have separate adapted units.

One of the units specialises in providing care to people with dementia.

“People were very positive about the care and support they received at Sunrise of Mobberley,” said the CQC report on the latest inspection.

“People were cared for in a clean and very well-maintained environment.

“We found that the focus of the service was very person-centred. The service supported people to express their views, and were involved in making decisions about their care. There was a residents’ council meeting every month.

“People and relatives who we spoke with were complimentary about the care provided and felt they receive a safe service.

“Comments included – ‘I am looked after very well, at night too. Two staff get me up every morning and help me into the shower. I feel safe in staff’s hands,’ and ‘I am very content. My wife was also looked after very well’.”

The report said improvements had been made to staffing and recruitment.

“From our observations and a review of the rotas, we saw there were sufficient staff to meet the needs of people living in the service,” it said.

“People told us that there were enough staff to meet their needs, although people had noticed the impact of staff changes. The use of agency staff had decreased.”

The inspectors found that improvements had been made to the management of medicines, and staff were positive about staffing levels.
