Abafields Residential Home

Abafields Residential Home provides accommodation and personal care for up to 52 older people, including some living with dementia, across two floors. The CQC rated the home as requiring improvement overall, identifying breaches around premises maintenance and governance. Inspectors found torn carpets and chipped paintwork, gaps in staff supervision records, and some feedback suggesting staffing levels were insufficient.

Care planning and record keeping lacked detail, and mental capacity assessments were not always completed for restrictive equipment. However, people said they felt safe and well cared for, describing friendly, attentive staff. Feedback described the acting manager as approachable, with visible improvements under way, though governance checks needed strengthening.
