Bearwardcote Hall Residential Home

“Date of Inspection: 22 June to 30 June 2026. Bearwardcote Hall Residential Home is a residential home providing regulated activity to adults over the age of 65. The service is registered to provide care for up to 38 people. At the time of our inspection, 16 people were using the service. This inspection was carried out to follow up on the actions we had asked the provider to make following our last inspection in October 2025. Since the previous inspection, the provider had made improvements across several areas of the service and had taken action to address the concerns identified. Improvements were evident in governance and oversight arrangements, the safety and maintenance of the environment, medicines management, care planning processes, staff training and supervision, communication, partnership working, and the monitoring of people's care and support needs.”

“Leaders had strengthened quality assurance systems and maintained regular communication with CQC regarding progress against their action plan. Staff reported improved support from managers, better communication, and a clearer understanding of how to raise concerns. Environmental improvements had created a safer setting for people, and systems for monitoring areas such as nutrition, hydration, repositioning, and people's changing needs had improved. Staff had also received additional training, including end-of-life care training, and care planning processes had been reviewed and updated.”
