Tamarix Lodge – Care Home

“Date of assessment: 29 July 2025 to 5 September 2025, including site visits on 29 July and 12 August. Tamarix Lodge- Care Home is a care home that was providing personal care to 30 older and younger people, including people who were living with dementia, at the time of the inspection. This assessment was carried out in response to concerns relating to delays in seeking medical attention when people’s health had deteriorated and inappropriate care and support for certain health conditions.”

“During the assessment we identified a lack of awareness among staff and management regarding the risks associated with individuals’ health and support needs. Risks were not consistently recognised or managed in a proactive way to ensure people’s safety. Care records and risk assessments often contained conflicting information and lacked sufficient detail to evidence that medical attention had been sought in a timely manner when people required it.”
