Report published 11 August 2025
“Date of Assessment: 7 July 2025. Dunniwood Lodge is a residential care home providing personal care to people. The service can accommodate up to 40 people. At the time of our assessment 26 people were using the service, some people were living with dementia. We assessed the service due to the length of time since our last inspection and due to some concerns we had received regarding staffing and social activities.”
“Risks associated with people’s care were identified and actions taken to mitigate risks. The home was predominantly clean and well presented. The care environment was safe and personal emergency evacuation plans were in place to ensure people were supported to evacuate the building in an emergency. There were sufficient staff available to meet people’s needs and staff told us they felt supported by the management team. People received their medicines as prescribed.”
