A Paisley care home has been praised for treating its residents with “dignity and respect”. Two inspectors from the Care Inspectorate carried out an unannounced visit to Hunterhill care home last month.They spoke with people using the service, spoke with staff and management, observed practice and daily life and reviewed documents.

Publishing its findings, the watchdog rated the Blackford Road facility ‘good’ across two key areas.The key messages from the report included that staff were motivated and dedicated to their roles, people were cared for by staff who knew them well and there was a good degree of consistency and the service benefited from skilled activity staff who offered a very good range of high-quality meaningful activities.

The facility, operated by Renfrewshire Council, was awarded a ‘good’ for how well it supports people’s wellbeing. The report stated: “People were treated with dignity and respect which they should expect.

Staff interactions with people were done in a gentle, well-paced and respectful way.”Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
