Christopher Grange Residential Care

Christopher Grange Residential Care, in Liverpool, provides accommodation and personal care for up to 78 people, some living with dementia. The CQC rated the home inadequate overall and has taken enforcement action, placing it in special measures. Inspectors found breaches relating to safe care, staffing, nutrition and hydration, safeguarding and governance, with poor oversight of risks such as pressure wounds and dehydration.

Families described caring staff but raised concerns about heavy reliance on agency workers, long waits for care, tired décor and limited contact with management. Environmental and infection control checks had failed to identify ongoing issues, and medicines management was not reliably safe. Overall, the CQC found care fell well short of expected standards, requiring significant improvement.
