Bury Lodge Care Home

Bury Lodge provides personal and nursing care to 29 people aged 65 and over across three floors. Residents feel safe at the home, with one person describing it as "the best thing. " Staff have received safeguarding training and know how to respond to concerns about abuse, and recruitment practices are robust.

However, the home does not manage medicines according to best practice guidance. Staff do not consistently sign medication administration records when medicines have been given, stock is not always available to ensure people receive prescribed medicines, and people do not always receive their medicines as intended. Training for staff is not always kept up to date, with several team members requiring further updates, though the registered manager has developed an action plan to address this.

The home supports people to have maximum choice and control over their lives, with staff using the least restrictive practices in their best interests.
