Strode Park House

“Date of assessment 8 January to 15 January 2026. Strode Park House is a residential service providing personal and nursing care to adults with physical disabilities. The provider was previously in breach of legal regulations around safe care and treatment, safe and effective staffing, the need for consent and good governance. Improvements were found at this assessment, and the provider was no longer in breach of the regulations. This home has been in Special Measures since 7 July 2025. The provider demonstrated improvements that have been made. The home is no longer rated as inadequate overall or in any of the key questions. The provider implemented and followed an action plan that strengthened oversight, improved safety and effectiveness of care, and ensured compliance with regulatory requirements. Therefore, this home is no longer in Special Measures. There were systems of audit to monitor and analyse safeguarding incidents. We saw these were recorded and raised appropriately. Staff understood and supported people to manage risks safety. The environment in some areas needed some repair. However, plans to do this were underway and a timescale was being worked towards, with funding for the repairs being secured. People received their medicines safely and as prescribed. There were processes in place to record and report medicine errors. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it. The home followed these principles.”

“People’s care was personalised and person-centred. Staff had a good understanding of their roles, responsibilities and understood their accountability.”
