Acacia Lodge Care Home

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 30 September 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Acacia Lodge Care Home is a care home. Acacia Lodge Care Home provides accommodation, nursing, and personal care for up to 40 people. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this assessment. This assessment was undertaken from 18 June 2024 and ended on 12 July 2024. The on-site assessment took place on 25 and 26 June 2024. We looked at 25 quality statements across all key questions. At the time of this assessment there were 28 people in residence. Concerns were acted on and lessons learnt were shared. Improved systems were in place to monitor the quality and safety of within the service. Risks to people were assessed, managed and kept under review. There were enough trained and competent staff to meet people’s needs and protect them from abuse. People were supported with their medicines safely. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible. People received person centred care to remain safe and their independence was promoted. Care plans were personalised and included clear guidance for staff to provide person centred care. People lived in a clean and hygienic environment. Regular checks were carried out on the premises and equipment and any action identified was monitored. At our last inspection, the service was rated requires improvement and there were breaches of regulations. At this assessment we found improvements had been made in relation to managing risks to people, person-centred care, staff training and governance systems and processes. The provider was no longer in breach of those regulations.
