Rosewood Lodge

Rosewood Lodge is a residential care home providing personal care to people aged 65 and over, some of whom may have dementia. The home can support up to 19 people in an adapted two floor building with facilities, including en-suite bathrooms. At the time of the inspection, there were 17 people living in the home.

People felt safe and happy in the care home. They had risk assessments and care plans, which were reviewed regularly to ensure their needs were met. People lived in a safe, clean environment with suitable equipment and facilities. Staff were checked so they were safe and experienced to work effectively with people and were trained and supported by the provider to do so. Feedback from people, relatives and professionals confirmed staff were kind and caring.

Staff administered, recorded and audited medicines. People were supported to access health care as and when they needed. The food provided was fresh and nutritious. People and relatives told us staff provided varied activities. Care plans were tailored to people's individual needs ensuring their preferences, wishes and equality characteristics such as ethnicity, faith and gender were recorded and taken into account for their care. 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.
