About Bayith Rest Home

Bayith Rest Home is a residential care home providing personal care and support to older people. The CQC found the service requires improvement overall, with a breach of legal regulations relating to governance and record keeping. Audits were not effective at identifying problems, and staffing levels and records needed improvement, though a newly appointed manager had begun making changes.

Inspectors found staff to be kind, compassionate and skilled, providing person-centred care. People and relatives spoke warmly of the home, describing staff as loving and attentive, and food and healthcare support were well regarded. Culture was open and positive, though improvements needed time to be embedded and sustained.

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 22 May 2025. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of Assessment: 26 March 2025 to 14 April 2025.
We undertook this inspection due to concerns about the environment, infection control processes, staffing and leadership. We found a breach of the legal regulations in relation to governance and record keeping. Governance systems and audits were not effective in identifying or addressing areas for improvement. Records were not always in place or sufficiently detailed to provide effective guidance for staff.
A new manager had been in post for approximately 2 weeks at the time of our inspection. People and staff were positive about their capability and approach. The manager recognised the shortfalls in the service and had plans to improve. However, time was needed to implement and sustain these.
A partner agency had completed an audit of the environment and infection control processes and had identified areas of improvement. The provider had begun work to address these issues at the time of our inspection.
We received mixed views about staffing levels. The manager had begun work to recruit more staff and told us they would continuously review staffing levels to ensure safety. Staff were competent and were recruited safely.
Care and medicines records needed improvements, but staff knew people well. People and relatives told us risks and medicines were safely managed.
Staff supported people to access healthcare when needed, and professionals external to the service were positive about their joint working. Improvement was needed to ensure people’s outcomes were monitored effectively. People told us they enjoyed the food and had enough to eat and drink.
People were cared for by kind and compassionate staff. Staff treated people as individuals and supported them in a person-centred way. The service was easy to access and worked to prevent discrimination. People received fair and equal care and treatment.
People and staff described an open and positive culture. Staff felt valued and enjoyed working at Bayith Rest Home.
