About Cavendish Court

Cavendish Court is a nursing care home based in Cheshire East, offering families in the area a local option when looking for support for their loved ones. The team there understands how much it means to find a place where people feel comfortable and looked after, and that sense of care runs through everything they do. If you are exploring options for a family member, it is worth taking the time to learn more about what Cavendish Court has to offer.

This residential care home accommodates up to 43 people aged 65 and over, including some living with dementia. The accommodation spans three floors, each with separate adapted facilities to meet residents' needs.

At the time of inspection, the service was not well-managed and required improvements to ensure safe, effective, and responsive care. Inspectors found that risks to people's health and welfare were not always identified or managed effectively. Notably, one person was at risk because staff were unaware of safeguards that had been put in place to protect them, highlighting gaps in communication and staff knowledge about essential safety measures.
