Wentworth Court Care Home

At our previous assessment conducted between 18 March 2026 to 2 April 2026, we rated the service requires improvement overall and served 2 Warning Notices in relation to safe care and treatment and good governance. We conducted this assessment to follow up on the Warning Notices and to check whether improvements had been made. We found the Warning Notices had been met, and improvements had been made.

During the assessment, we visited the service and reviewed the medicines records of 8 people, including care plans and medicines administration records. We also looked at medicines audits, policies and training records. We spoke with staff and managers.

The provider had now developed a proactive and positive culture of safety and implemented an effective system to analyse lessons learned and continually identify and embed good practice.

Care plans now contained key information regarding the management of risk, and the provider had made improvements to the documentation and recording of incidents where people had experienced distress. Whilst more time was needed for these improvements to be fully embedded, the improvements were evident.

The provider had made improvements to the way medicines were managed in the home. We saw significant progress, and the registered manager was working towards ensuring that the new systems were fully embedded alongside ongoing developments.

Leaders now demonstrated a good knowledge and understanding of the issues and priorities within the service, and oversight and governance had improved.
