Ashmore Nursing Home

Ashmore Nursing Home provides nursing and personal care for up to 36 people, with 26 living there at the time of assessment. The CQC rated the service Requires Improvement overall, finding continued breaches relating to staffing levels and governance. Inspectors found people sometimes waited a long time for personal care and did not always get regular showers, with limited meaningful activity.

Care plans were person centred and staff were described as caring and skilled, with good information sharing with health professionals. However, safety systems and quality assurance were not developed enough to identify and address shortfalls. The registered manager responded promptly to concerns, taking steps such as appointing extra staff.
