What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 8 July 2025 (assessment visit 18 March 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Date of assessment: 23 April to 15 May 2025. We completed site visits on 23 April and 2 May 2025. St Michaels Court is a nursing home providing accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care and treatment of disease, disorder or injury. The service is registered for 88 people and provides support to older and younger people, some of whom may be living with dementia, a physical disability or sensory impairment. At the time of the assessment, there were 75 people living at the service. The service was last inspected in March 2022 and rated requires improvement. We identified breaches of regulations relating to safe care and treatment, meeting nutritional and hydration needs, staffing and good governance. We carried out this assessment due to concerns of risks, we found that the provider has made improvements in these areas. The provider was no longer in breach of these regulations.
