About Anita Dorfman House

Anita Dorfman House is a nursing home in Harrow. Details of the CQC's most recent findings are set out below.

This nursing home accommodates up to 80 older people, many living with dementia, across three separate floors. The service primarily supports residents from Jewish backgrounds. Care is delivered through a combination of nursing and personal support.

Inspectors identified concerns with medicine management. Recorded stock levels for some as-needed medicines did not match actual supplies, and guidance for administering these medicines lacked GP signatures to confirm accuracy.
