Dover Cottage Rest Home

Dover Cottage Rest Home provides residential care for up to 15 people aged 65 and over, specialising in supporting those living with dementia. At the time of inspection, 11 people were using the service.

The home offers a quiet environment where staff engage with residents on an individual basis. Staff demonstrated good knowledge of people's needs and provided supportive care, particularly during times of distress. However, inspectors found that staff planning and deployment required review to ensure people's care remained consistently safe and responsive.

Staff reported having adequate numbers to provide individual engagement, though the inspection identified areas where scheduling could be improved.
