Forest Place Nursing Home

Forest Place is a nursing home in a purpose-built building over three floors, providing care and nursing support for up to 120 people, including some living with dementia. At the time of the CQC assessment, 55 people lived there. The home has moved out of an inadequate rating to Requires Improvement overall, though it remains in special measures while further improvements are made.

Inspectors found some progress since the last inspection, but continued breaches around staffing levels, risk management, consent and governance. People said they felt safe but that care was sometimes rushed or delayed, with staff changes affecting consistency. Families gave mixed feedback, praising some staff while noting communication problems and inconsistent attention to personal care needs.
