What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 1 October 2025 (assessment visit 8 April 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Stonebridge Nursing Home is a care home providing personal and nursing care for up to 52 people aged 18 and over who may be living with dementia or complex mental health conditions. The home supported younger adults to transition from secure mental health hospitals, where some had been for many years, and were supporting people to integrate back into the community and build their confidence. At the time of the inspection 44 people were living at the service. The inspection included 2 on site visits, which took place on 7 and 21 May 2025, phone calls to relatives were made by an expert by experience on 14 May 2025 and additional evidence reviewed remotely. The assessment was completed as a result of concerns reported to CQC and due to the time which had elapsed since our last inspection, a decision was made to complete an up-to-date inspection to ensure people were safe and receiving good care.
