About Beaufort House

Beaufort House is a residential care home in South Gloucestershire. Details of the Care Quality Commission's most recent findings are set out below.

Beaufort House provides personal care to up to 28 people in a multi-floor building with dining and lounge areas, a conservatory, and office space. At the time of inspection, 20 people were living at the home.

The dining room and lounge areas had been arranged to support social distancing, though inspectors found the upstairs lounge chairs were not spaced sufficiently to maintain adequate distance between residents. The provider confirmed they would review this arrangement. The home maintains an infection prevention and control policy with regular checks in place, and the management team conducts daily walk-arounds of the premises.
