“Bedewell Grange was very well-led. The provider, registered manager and staff team were passionate about people's well-being and went above and beyond to help people achieve their goals and aspirations by building their confidence and breaking down barriers to increase independence. The staff team supported some people with complex needs. There was clear evidence of collaborative working and very good communication with other professionals to help meet people's needs. Relatives and professionals described how people received personalised care and support that was tailored to people’s needs and preferences.”

“The service was flexible and adapted to people's changing needs and wishes and promoted their independence. There were examples of some significant improvements to the well-being of people due to the person-centred care they received. Risks to people had been assessed and care plans were in place to help mitigate risks as far as possible. Care records were detailed, person-centred and reflected people's care needs. Accidents and incidents were investigated, action taken, and lessons learned. There were sufficient trained staff who worked with other professionals to ensure people's needs were met in a safe and person-centred way. Staff were attentive and treated people with kindness and compassion. People enjoyed a varied diet. Systems were in place for people to receive their medicines in a safe way.”

“The environment was well-maintained and welcoming, and people enjoyed a well-cultivated garden. There was a very good standard of hygiene. There had been a recent refurbishment around the home and people enjoyed bright, comfortable and well-decorated surroundings. The environment was designed to meet the needs of people who may live with dementia or a dementia related condition.
