Alan Morkill House

Alan Morkill House is a residential care home that supports up to 49 older people, with 33 residents living there at the time of inspection. The majority of residents were living with dementia.

The home maintained high standards of cleanliness throughout, with increased cleaning schedules implemented to address high-risk transmission areas including light switches and touch points, which were cleaned multiple times daily. The provider disabled staff time clocks that used fingerprint identification, recognizing this as a potential infection control risk. The registered manager adjusted shift patterns for care workers to minimize cross-infection risks and maintain continuity of care.
