Middleton Park Lodge

“Date of Assessment: 01 May and 27 May 2026. Middleton Park Lodge is a nursing home, registered to provide personal and nursing care to 43people. At the time of the assessment, there were 42 people living at the home. We completed this assessment following the previous rating of the service.”

“The provider demonstrated some strengths in maintaining a safety culture, delivering effective care, and promoting person-centred approaches, supported by assessments, care planning, and partnership working. However, these were undermined by inconsistent practice, gaps in staffing, and weaknesses in governance. Systems to monitor risk, quality, and improvement were not always effective, meaning concerns were not consistently identified or addressed. This included an incident where a person’s dignity was not appropriately maintained. Issues such as environmental risks, infection control, inconsistent documentation, and limited staff confidence in leadership impacted the provider’s ability to deliver consistently safe, high-quality care within an open and transparent culture.”
