Bramble Lodge

Bramble Lodge Care Home provides personal and nursing care to 51 residents aged 65 and over, with capacity for up to 63 people. The home is arranged across separate floors, each with communal lounges and dining spaces, plus large accessible outdoor areas. Medicines were managed well overall, though inspectors made a recommendation about managing some medicines. Staff were knowledgeable about residents' healthcare needs and used nationally recognised monitoring tools, while working closely with healthcare professionals to ensure timely referrals. Systems protected people from abuse, and risks were regularly assessed and reviewed.

The home had enough safely recruited staff to meet residents' needs and maintained infection control measures. Residents were supported to have maximum choice and control in their lives, with staff supporting them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests. The home's policies and systems supported these practices throughout.
