About Brinnington Hall

Brinnington Hall is a residential care home in Stockport providing personal care for people living with dementia. Further details from the Care Quality Commission's most recent inspection are set out below.

This residential care home provides personal care for up to 67 people living with dementia in a purpose-built three-storey building with communal areas and single bedrooms. At inspection, 65 people were using the service.

Medicines are managed safely, though the home should review how thickeners are recorded to ensure all relevant paperwork is accurate. Feedback about staffing levels was mixed, although sufficient staff were present to meet people's needs during the inspection. The service follows safer recruitment practices and assesses people's needs appropriately.
