Dene Park House

Dene Park House is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care to up to 51 people, supporting younger and older people, some living with dementia and physical disabilities. At inspection, 37 people were using the service.

Inspectors found that medicines were not always managed safely. Some topical medicines such as creams were out of date, handwritten entries had not been counter-signed in line with the provider's policy and national guidance, and staff guidance lacked detail regarding people's individual needs. Pre-employment checks on permanent staff and records relating to the induction of agency staff contained gaps.
