About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 14 September 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Brandreth Lodge is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 24 people. The service provides support to older people. At the time of our inspection there were 16 people using the service. The home is set over 2 floors and had good sized communal areas and gardens for people to use.
What inspectors found
Risks to people's health and safety were not always adequately assessed and mitigated, and changes were required to improve the safe management of medicines.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Improvements were required to the overall governance and risk management of the service; training and staff supervisions were overdue.
People were kept safe from the risk of abuse and the risk of mistakes being repeated was minimised. There were enough staff to care for people and the home was kept clean.
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.
We found a positive culture and the service had a 'homely' atmosphere. Staff enjoyed their jobs and said they had good support from the management.
