Holly Bank Care Home

During the inspection we noted people were offered drinks and there was a choice of drinks available and within easy reach. Hydration charts had been completed by staff. When there was a concern people were not drinking enough, they were monitored with action taken in appropriate cases.

Heating equipment was working properly and had been inspected by an expert and certified as being safe and effective.

Whilst we did not identify any additional concerns in relation to Holly Bank Care Home, we found that the provider's progression of environmental improvements required updating. Some areas of the home required refurbishment. We have made a recommendation about this.

The manager and provider representative was working closely with the local safeguarding team to reflect on the current practice within the service to ensure that lessons were learned and to make improvements where needed.
