About GHC Nursing Home

GHC Nursing Home is a nursing home in Nottinghamshire, providing personal and nursing care to older adults with physical health needs, including people living with dementia. Details of the CQC's most recent findings are set out below.

GHC Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care to older adults with physical health needs and people living with dementia, supporting 31 people at the time of assessment. The CQC rated the service Good overall, following a focused look at how responsive the home was.

Inspectors found relatives generally spoke positively, feeling able to raise concerns and confident action would follow, with good involvement in end-of-life care planning. However, the home did not always answer telephone calls from relatives, and routine health checks such as dental, optician or chiropody appointments were not always offered or arranged.
