Saltgreens Care Home, Eyemouth
Written by Local Democracy Reporter, Paul Kelly
A Scottish Borders Council-run care home has been given a clean bill of health after four previous areas for improvement were met.
Saltgreens Care Home at Chapel Street in Eyemouth was visited by a representative of the Care Inspectorate early in December.
The care home provides a care service to a maximum of 35 older people.
Staff were found to demonstrate an understanding of people’s needs and preferences and offered support in a manner which was both warm and attentive.
Current staffing arrangements were appropriate and effectively supported the needs of people using the service.
Efforts had been made to enhance and improve the environment, resulting in a positive and comfortable setting.
The home was rated ‘good’ for its support of people’s well-being, its staff team and its setting.
The report states: “We evaluated this key question as good where several strengths impacted positively on outcomes for people and clearly outweighed areas for improvement.
“During the inspection, it was evident people experiencing care benefited from kind and compassionate interactions with staff.
“Staff demonstrated an understanding of people’s needs and preferences and offered support in a manner which was both warm and attentive. Interactions were unhurried, allowing people to receive care at a pace which suited them, promoting comfort and reassurance.
“These practices reflected a strong commitment to person-centred care and contributed positively to the overall well-being and experience of those living at Saltgreens Care Home.”
