Aronel Cottage Care Home Limited

Aronel Cottage Care Home Limited is a nursing home in Newport providing personal and nursing care for people with a range of support needs, some of whom require higher levels of assistance. The CQC found the home clean, calm and well staffed, with medicines managed safely and improvements made since previous concerns about safe care.

However, inspectors found a risk averse culture that limited people's independence, with staff not always treating people as individuals and a breach found regarding dignity and respect. Activities were largely passive, and some residents said they wanted more freedom to go outside or into the community.
