What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 9 January 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Willowthorpe is a 'care home'. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection.

The inspection took place on 28 and 29 November 2018 and was unannounced. At our last inspection on 16 August 2017, the service was found not to be meeting all the required standards we looked at.
At this inspection we found that the provider had made the improvements required.
There was a manager in post who had registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). A registered manager is a person who has registered with the CQC to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are 'registered persons'. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
