About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 15 May 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

The Clough Care Home is a detached property with large gardens, located in a quiet residential area in Bolton. There are 30 rooms, two of which are shared. The Clough provides accommodation and support for up to 32 older people. On the day of the inspection there were 23 people using the service.

What inspectors found

Systems for safeguarding people from harm were robust. Staff completed regular safeguarding training and were aware of how to report any safeguarding concerns or poor practice witnessed. Risk assessments were completed for each individual and kept up to date with regular reviews. Health and safety certificates were in place and regular checks completed. Medicines were managed safely and appropriate infection control measures were in place at the home.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Staff were recruited safely and adequate numbers of staff were deployed to meet people's needs. Staff training was on-going throughout their employment.

People told us they were looked after kindly and their privacy and dignity were respected. Care plans included clear information about people's preferences and needs and people's choices were respected. People were supported to be as independent as possible.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

Some staff expressed concerns about the management of staffing issues, although most felt management was proactive and helpful. The concerns were addressed immediately by the registered manager.

Complaints and concerns were responded to appropriately and honestly. Audits and quality checks were completed and any issues addressed appropriately. The service communicated well with relatives and friends and worked productively with other agencies and professionals.
