Lynton Hall Care Home

Lynton Hall Care Home is a care home providing personal and nursing care for up to 51 people. At the time of our inspection there were 41 people using the service. The service supports older people living with dementia and having physical care needs. The home is arranged over 2 floors, each with their own separate adapted facilities.

People felt safe living at the home. People's care and support needs were assessed and staff did their best to meet them. There were robust staff recruitment procedures in place and enough staff to support people safely. Staff had the necessary equipment to effectively manage risks associated with infection control. Appropriate management systems were in place to ensure medicines were managed safely.

People were empowered to make decisions about their care. Staff had on-going support to carry out their role responsibilities as required. People's wishes and dietary requirements were acted upon as necessary. Mental capacity assessments were completed by the service to support people in the decision-making process. The provider had planned to refurbish the home, also making sure the environment was meeting the needs of people living with dementia.
