Applecroft Residential Care Home

Applecroft provides residential care to 19 people across three floors, with shared communal areas and individual bedrooms. Staff recruitment systems are robust and staffing levels are sufficient to meet residents' needs. Medicines are securely stored and safely managed, with appropriate support provided for medication administration. The home maintains suitable systems for equipment maintenance and cleanliness, with recent improvements made to laundry procedures.

People and families report the home is good and feel involved in care discussions. The registered manager and staff work collaboratively with other professionals and respond positively to improvement suggestions. Residents have choice and their preferences are respected. While systems to check and improve care standards could be more consistently applied, an improvement action plan is underway. Accident and incident management processes are in place, though there is opportunity to enhance analysis and learning sharing.
