What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 9 April 2026 (assessment visit 20 February 2026). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Date of inspection: 9 March 2026. Doulton Court Lodge Care Home supported up to 41 people in a care home with nursing. Some people were living with Dementia. The service provided safe care and support. People were cared for by staff who understood their needs and offered kind, person-centred care. Risks were assessed with people and staff supported people to stay safe while promoting independence. The environment was safe and well maintained and staffing levels meant people received consistent support from staff who knew them well. Safeguarding processes were effective and people told us they felt safe. Staff spoke up about concerns and learning from incidents was shared. Medicines were generally well managed, although some shortfalls were identified with recording thickeners, storing creams safely and completing temperature checks. The registered manager took immediate action to address these issues, reducing any risk to people.
