About Brownhills Nursing Home

Brownhills Nursing Home is a nursing care home in Walsall, providing nursing and personal care in an adapted building. The findings below set out the CQC's most recent assessment of the service.

Brownhills Nursing Home accommodates 46 people requiring nursing and personal care in an adapted building with bedrooms across the ground and first floors. The home assesses people's needs before admission to ensure it can meet their requirements. People feel safe and speak positively about staff and their living experience.

Staff understand how to keep people safe, and risks to residents' health and wellbeing are assessed and monitored regularly. The provider has safeguarding systems in place, and staff follow care assessments to meet individual needs.

The home maintains a clean environment with staff following infection control procedures in line with national guidance. Recruitment processes are safe and staffing levels are sufficient to meet residents' needs. However, audits of care records need improvement to ensure safety checks are properly recorded and information remains current.
