About Albemarle Rest Home

Albemarle Rest Home is a residential care home in Warwickshire, providing personal care for older people aged 65 and over. Further details on how the home is run are set out in the CQC findings below.

The home provides personal care for up to 24 people aged 65 and over, with 18 residents at the time of inspection. Residents have access to shared lounges, a dining room, conservatory and gardens.

Provider oversight has improved with more robust systems and processes now in place, though these need further embedding and maintenance. Some risk management plans and medicines records still lack clarity and detailed information. Relatives praised the standards of care and highlighted good communication within the home.

Staff and management collaborate effectively with healthcare professionals to deliver positive outcomes for residents.
