Barton Brook Care Home

Barton Brook Care Home is a nursing home in Salford providing nursing and dementia care across four units, supporting up to 120 people. The CQC rated the home Requires Improvement overall. Inspectors found staffing levels were not always sufficient, medicines were not always managed safely, and risks to people were not always well managed.

A breach of legal requirements relating to good governance was identified.

Staff were found to be kind and caring, and care was assessed effectively, but relatives and residents raised concerns about slow response times, poor communication and a lack of activities. A new leadership team had begun making improvements, but the CQC found these were not yet fully embedded.
