Fernhill House

Fernhill House provides nursing care and accommodation for up to 66 people with dementia, nursing needs, and personal care requirements. The purpose-built facility offers various communal and private spaces for residents. At the time of inspection, 63 people were living at the home.

Inspectors identified concerns with medication storage and management. Not all topical creams were stored securely, and risk assessments were missing for paraffin-based creams. Some topical creams lacked prescription labels or open dates, presenting potential safety risks in the administration of treatments.
