Barons Down Nursing Home

This nursing home accommodates up to 30 people in a purpose-built facility, supporting adults with nursing care needs, some of whom live with dementia. At inspection, 26 residents were living at the service. Inspectors found that the provider's governance systems had not identified several shortfalls in the home's operations.

Audit and risk management processes failed to effectively identify and manage risks to people's safety and wellbeing. Documentation systems needed improvement to ensure staff had access to current, consistent information necessary to provide safe care. The home's approach to risk management required strengthening to adequately protect residents' health and wellbeing.
