Dunollie hasn’t had a CQC (Care Quality Commission) inspection since Lotus Care took it over. The report done in September 2018 rated it as overall good.

You can view and download the CQC report done in September 2018 here Dunollie Residential & Nursing Home CQC report.

From CQC report

We are committed to improving the areas highlighted by the CQC during their inspection in February 2018. A detailed action plan is in place.
Below are some of the positive comments made by the CQC in their report:

We observed that staff were respectful, taking time to speak with people and engage them in conversation in an un-rushed and person-centred way.

Although we observed staff were busy, we saw that they treated people with kindness and respect.

We observed that call bells were responded to promptly and people’s needs were met in a timely manner.

Our team

Our care team is on-hand 24 hours a day, every day of the year and staff are dedicated to delivering care with kindness.

To ensure we continue to provide the best standards of care and support to our residents, we recruit and train only the best staff.

Whilst they receive a variety of on-going training to ensure their skills remain up-to-date, along with an enhanced DBS check (formerly CRB), it is their dedication to our residents which makes them truly special.

We work in close partnership with GPs and other health professionals and specialist services.

Activities

We enable people to maintain lifestyles that are as similar as possible to those enjoyed at home whilst encouraging regular interaction with the local community, including contact with friends, family and local groups. We encourage friends and family to be involved through regular visits and participation in special activities, events and open days.

The activities offered are tailored to our residents’ individual choices and interests. Residents can choose to take part in a wide variety of social and leisure activities including chair-based exercise classes, bingo and trips out. We also have regular entertainers that provide a variety of engaging experiences for residents, their relatives and friends.

Care and Support

We understand that people bring with them a life story of achievements, events and life experiences. We use such information to create a tailored care package for each individual’s specific needs.

We ensure that our person-centred assessments are all tailored to the whole person and we will look at what people can do, not just what they need assistance with. Most importantly we ensure that the individual themselves and their loved ones help us to put together a bespoke plan of care. We appreciate how difficult the decision is to move into permanent or even short stay care and we aim to make this transition as easy as possible.

Home-cooked meals

Meals times are an important part of the day at Dunollie. Our chef provides wholesome, home-cooked food, cakes and snacks throughout the day and happily accommodates all dietary preferences and requirements. And visitors are welcome to join us for meals.

Food hygiene is important to our catering team at Dunollie Nursing Home. We’ve been given a 5 star ‘Very Good’ Food Hygiene Rating.
