Abbey Grange Nursing Home

“Date of Assessment: 9 September 2026. The service is a care home providing residential and nursing care to younger people, and older people, including people living with dementia. We carried out an assessment looking at all the quality statements and all key questions. Our decision to inspect the service was due to the age of the rating. At our last assessment the service was rated good and at this assessment the service had remained overall good, with a rating of requires improvement in the safe key question.”

“People were safeguarded from the risk of abuse. People received their medicines as prescribed by staff who were competent in the safe administration of medicines. Risks associated with people’s care were not always managed safely; some care plans did not always provide sufficient information to support people safely. Accidents and incidents were not always robustly analysed to identify trends and patterns to mitigate future risks. We carried out a tour of the home and found people were not always protected from the risk and spread of infection. Some areas of the home required deep cleaning. The environment was not always safe. Some large items of furniture were not securely fitted to the wall, and some radiator covers required fixing. The registered manager and provider took swift and appropriate actions to mitigate risk and improve practice.”
