Currergate Nursing Home

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 5 January 2026. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Dates of Assessment: 4 to 27 November 2025. This included 2 onsite visits to the service on 4 and 6 November 2025. Currergate Nursing Home is a care home for people requiring nursing or personal care, some of whom may be living with dementia. The service is registered to accommodate up to 47 people. At the time of our assessment there were 41 people living in the service.

The service provided safe, person-centred, and inclusive care. Staff were trained, supported, and delivered care which promoted independence, choice, and dignity. Systems for safeguarding, risk management, infection prevention and control, and learning from incidents were in place. Care plans reflected individual needs and preferences, and people benefited from strong partnerships with health professionals and local community groups, enhancing wellbeing and social inclusion. Leadership was approachable and supportive, fostering a culture of openness, continuous learning, and innovation. Staff felt confident to speak up, and initiatives to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion were strong. End-of-life care was well planned and coordinated, with positive feedback from relatives.

However, some areas required further embedding to ensure consistent practice. Repositioning and fluid monitoring records were not always fully completed, and medicine management required stronger clinical oversight to ensure protocols were followed. Governance systems were in place but needed further strengthening to ensure audits, particularly around medicines, and daily practices were consistently applied across the service.

The provider had taken immediate action to address all identified shortfalls, demonstrating responsiveness and commitment to improvement. Continued embedding of these practices is required to maintain standards consistently across the service.
