Flowerdown Care Home

Flowerdown Care Home accommodates up to 53 people across two floors, providing personal and nursing care with six specialist beds for end of life care commissioned by local health services. The home supports people living with dementia, and had 36 residents at the time of inspection.

Improvements are needed in the safe management of medicines and maintaining clean, hygienic premises. Staffing levels are not always sufficient to meet people's needs consistently, and there is an inconsistent approach to managing some risks to residents' health and wellbeing. Staff understand their responsibility to raise concerns, though more work is required to ensure safer practices across the home.
