About Burger Court

Burger Court is a residential care home in Bradford, providing personal care and support for younger and older adults with mental health needs and people with a learning disability. The findings below set out what the CQC observed during its most recent assessment.

Burger Court is a residential care home providing personal care and accommodation for up to 17 people, including younger and older adults with mental health needs and people with a learning disability. Fifteen people were living there at the time of the assessment. The CQC rated the service as Requires Improvement overall, finding breaches around safe care and treatment and good governance, with risks not always assessed properly and medicines not always managed safely.

Inspectors found people generally felt safe, though this was sometimes affected by other residents' behaviour. Some people felt involved in their care planning, others less so, and some felt raising concerns brought slow action. Staff and the new manager were praised for kindness and supporting people's independence.

Read CQC's assessment overview

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 29 November 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Burger Court is a residential care home. The service provides support with personal care and accommodation for up to 17 people. At the time of our inspection, there were 15 people living at the home. The service was providing support to people with a range of needs, including younger and older adults with mental health needs and people with a learning disability. The assessment commenced on 30 July 2024 and was completed on 20 September 2024. This included 3 visits to the service on 30 July, 7 and 15 August 2024. We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. Right support, right care, right culture is the statutory guidance which supports CQC to make assessments and judgements. We identified breaches of 2 regulations relating to safe care and treatment and good governance. Risks associated with people's care were not assessed effectively, medicines were not always managed safely, and systems had not been effective in identifying some concerns we found during this assessment. We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this assessment.
