About Alderson House

Alderson House is a residential care home based in the East Riding of Yorkshire, offering a familiar and homely setting for those who need support. Families looking into care options here will find a place where the focus is on making residents feel comfortable and at ease in their surroundings. The East Riding location brings with it a sense of community, and the team at Alderson House works to ensure that warmth and kindness run through everyday life at the home.

This residential care home provides personal care for up to 27 people with dementia or mental health needs. At inspection, 13 people were using the service.

Inspectors found that risks to people's safety and wellbeing had not always been properly assessed, recorded and managed, and some care plans were outdated. While staff administered medicines safely and demonstrated good knowledge, protocols for medicines given as needed were not consistently in place and medicine storage temperatures were not always properly monitored.

Quality assurance systems had not identified or addressed several shortfalls, including issues with servicing of lifting equipment, medicines protocols, care records and risk assessments.
