About 50 Burton Road

50 Burton Road is a small residential care home in Staffordshire, offering a homely setting where people with learning disabilities can feel genuinely at ease. The intimate size of the home lends itself to a close-knit atmosphere, where familiar faces and daily routines can bring real comfort and stability. For families exploring care options in the area, it can be reassuring to find a home on a human scale, where residents are known as individuals rather than simply as residents.

This care home provides personal care and accommodation for up to six people with learning disabilities, currently supporting five residents. Staff knew people well and medicines were managed safely. However, quality assurance systems had not fully embedded actions to ensure adequate monitoring of care.

Risk assessments were not always accurate, and care plans did not consistently reflect people's needs. Some residents missed medical appointments due to ineffective systems. Infection control measures were not applied consistently, posing a potential cross-infection risk.

The service maintained sufficient staffing levels, though these varied.
