What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 14 April 2026 (assessment visit 17 December 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Date of assessment: 28 January to 2 February 2026. Gracefields Nursing Home is a care home providing care and support to older adults, some of whom were living with dementia. The service provides care and nursing support for up to 50 people. At the time of the assessment, there were 45 people using the service. At our last assessment, published in March 2020, the service was rated as good. The service had a manager but they were not yet registered with CQC. The service had clear systems in place for managing concerns and complaints, and the management team worked to streamline processes where duplication made oversight more difficult. Feedback about the manager was consistently positive, particularly regarding their open‑door approach and responsiveness to issues raised. Staff spoke positively about working in the service and were observed to treat people with dignity and respect. The environment was clean, tidy and well maintained. Although improvements were identified in relation to medicines, governance and staff supervision, there was no evidence that these shortfalls had resulted in harm.
