About Edwina Place

Edwina Place is a residential care home in Bracknell Forest, offering families a familiar and homely setting where their loved ones can feel genuinely at ease. The team there understands how much it means to find somewhere that feels right, and they aim to make both residents and visiting family members feel welcome from the very first step through the door. Bracknell Forest itself is a friendly area with good local connections, making it a practical and comforting choice for families nearby.

Edwina Place provides personal care and support to up to 12 people, including those with mental health needs, older people, and younger adults. At inspection, nine people were using the service.

The provider did not always follow quality assurance systems effectively to assess, monitor, and mitigate risks relating to people's health, safety, and welfare. Accurate and complete records were not consistently maintained regarding premises management and medicine management. A recommendation was made regarding gathering necessary information as part of the provider's recruitment processes.
