A CARE home in Prestwick has been praised for providing meaningful, personalised care.
Shawburn, located on Monkton Road and operated by Hansel Alliance, offers support for adults with learning disabilities.
A recent inspection by the Care Inspectorate found the service to be 'Very Good' in supporting residents’ wellbeing and promoting independence.
The unannounced inspection took place on September 29 and 30.
It focused on the quality of care and support provided to the eight people living in the home at the time.
Inspectors observed positive, respectful, and familiar interactions between staff and residents.
People appeared comfortable and engaged in activities that were meaningful to them.
Support plans were detailed, person-centred, and accurately reflected individuals’ needs, wishes, and aspirations.
There was strong evidence of collaboration with health and social care professionals, and care records were found to be of a high standard.
One area for improvement from a previous inspection had not yet been met.
The upstairs corridor was still described as too dark, posing a potential trip hazard.
Shawburn is registered to support up to nine adults. The care home promotes independence, personal choice, and community involvement.
The report noted that residents were supported to maintain family connections and personal interests.
Staff were described as demonstrating a thorough understanding of each person's preferences and needs.
Despite ongoing recruitment challenges, staff remained positive and committed to delivering high-quality care.
No complaints have been upheld against the service since the last inspection.
