Badgeworth Court Care Centre provides personal and nursing care to older people and those living with dementia across three units with communal areas and gardens. At the time of inspection, 52 people were living in the home. People and their relatives felt safe and spoke positively about the quality of care, describing it as personalised and exceptional.

The service was notably responsive to changing needs, particularly for people living with dementia, using the Dementia Care Wellbeing framework to support and enrich their lives.

Activities were personalised and residents had been supported to build links with the local community. The staffing team maintained consistency by avoiding agency staff and implementing a whole-home approach when needed. The registered manager expressed pride in their team, noting staff "go above and beyond.

" Staff understood people's needs and how to protect them from avoidable harm, with care plans and risk assessments in place to guide support and manage identified risks.
