Highbury Nursing Home

“Date of assessment 16 September to 23 October 2026. The assessment was conducted to review the progress made by the service since our previous assessment. Highbury Nursing Home provides nursing and personal care for older adults, some of whom are living with dementia. The home has the capacity to accommodate 38 people. At the time of our assessment 23 people were living at the service. The home is comprised of 3 floors. People have their own bedrooms, some of which have ensuite facilities, some have shared bathroom facilities. There is a large, shared lounge and dining area on the ground floor and a private garden area. At the time of our assessment there had been problems with the lift, and it had been out of service for periods of time during the summer. Lounge areas had been created on the upper to floors to account for this. The lift was working at the time of our visit. However further work was planned, therefore the temporary lounge areas on the upper floors had been retained for this purpose.”

“We found the home environment was safe, clean and clutter free. Systems were in place to ensure people were supported by suitable numbers of experienced and trained staff. People were supported by safe and effective medicines management systems. Staff understood how to identify and respond to safeguarding concerns, which were investigated appropriately by the registered manager. At our previous assessment of the service, we had found the provider to be in breach of regulations relating to safe and effective care, and systems to protect people from the risk of abuse and neglect. At this assessment we found significant improvements in these areas and the service was no longer in breach of these regulations.”
