Astbury Manor Care Home

Astbury Manor Care Home provides personal care to 55 people aged 65 and over, with capacity for up to 64 residents. The home maintained high standards of cleanliness throughout all areas, with intensive cleaning protocols particularly focused on infection control hotspots. Hand hygiene stations in bathrooms and corridors were consistently well-stocked and accessible.

The service implemented robust infection prevention measures, including checks on COVID-19 vaccination status and lateral flow tests for health and social care professionals entering the building. Staff vaccination records were detailed and accurate, with only eligible staff employed.

The registered manager demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement by developing local audits based on best practice from other organisations. The home worked closely with the local authority and clinical commissioning group to maintain resident safety. Family involvement was actively encouraged, with essential caregivers fostered as part of residents' lives.

Appropriate risk assessments and testing protocols were in place throughout the service.
