About Bryher Court Nursing Home

Bryher Court Nursing Home sits in the county of East Sussex, offering families in the area a local option for nursing care when the time comes to explore support for a loved one. The team there understands that this can be a significant decision, and the home aims to provide a setting where residents feel comfortable and looked after. For families beginning this journey, it can help to know that there are people nearby who are dedicated to the day-to-day wellbeing of those in their care.

Bryher Court Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care to up to 45 people with a range of age-related and physical health conditions. At inspection, 34 people were using the service.

There were concerns about risk management systems, which were not robust enough to consistently demonstrate that safety was managed effectively. The home's recruitment procedures needed improvement to ensure full employment history was recorded for each staff member.

People were not consistently supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives, and staff did not fully support decision-making in line with relevant legislation.
