About Chichester Court Care Home

Chichester Court provides personal and nursing care to up to 50 people aged 65 and over. At the time of inspection, 24 residents were living at the service.

Following a recent Covid-19 outbreak, the provider implemented a robust action plan to strengthen infection prevention and control practices. Staff consistently wore protective personal equipment and maintained regular hand hygiene, with the home kept clean and tidy. Care plans were updated and transferred to the provider's paperwork to reflect current needs, though inspectors identified that additional information about specific interventions and preferences would strengthen documentation.

Fluid charts were not consistently completed in full.
