Farriess Court

Farriess Court is a residential care home providing personal care and accommodation for 26 adults, though 19 people were using the service at inspection. Some residents were living with dementia or physical disabilities. The home has addressed previous safety concerns, including covering radiators to prevent scalds. Maintenance work is underway on windows and other areas of the building identified by the local authority, with additional repairs needed to the laundry room flooring and walls added to the action plan.

Risk assessments are in place to keep people safe and are generally followed by staff. However, inspectors found that one person's risk assessment regarding supervision while smoking was not consistently followed. The home has been recommended to review measures in the smoke room to prevent cigarette smoke drifting into smoke-free areas.
