“Date of assessment: 08 to 22 December 2025. The Meadows is a care home registered to provide accommodation and personal care. The service provides care and support to up to 54 older people. At the time of the assessment there were 49 people using the service. At our last assessment, published September 2023, the service was rated requires improvement. The provider was in breach of the legal regulations in relation to safe care and treatment and governance. We carried out this assessment to review actions taken by the provider following our last assessment. Improvements were found, and the provider was no longer in breach of these regulations. We assessed 14 quality statements in safe and well led. At this assessment the rating for the safe and well led key question has changed to good. The ratings for the quality statements we did not assess remain unchanged. This means the overall rating for the service has changed to good.”

“Medicines were managed safely. People were protected from abuse and avoidable harm. Systems for safeguarding, risk management, infection control were effective. Staff were well-trained and knew people well, which built trust with the people they supported. Effective systems were in place to ensure necessary recruitment checks were carried out. Staff told us they received induction and supervision; however, records showed some supervisions were not always taking place in line with policy and procedure. This had been identified in the registered managers audit, and a plan was in place to address this.”
“Leadership was strong, inclusive and focused on continuous improvement. There was a positive culture of openness and learning, supported by clear governance systems and effective partnership working. However, although safeguarding referrals were submitted to the local authority, they were not reported to the Care Quality Commission. The registered manager and nominated individual acknowledged this oversight and took prompt action to address it. Staff felt supported, able to speak up, and valued within an inclusive culture.”
