Gregory House is a nursing home providing accommodation for up to 20 people across four separate units over two floors, with single bedrooms featuring en-suite facilities. At the time of inspection, the home was at full capacity with 20 residents.

The home demonstrated strong infection control practices with comprehensive policies and procedures to manage COVID-19 risks, including protocols for managing people with positive diagnoses. Staff actively supported residents and their relatives to maintain contact during the pandemic, implementing alternative arrangements such as online visiting when in-person visits weren't possible due to positive test results or other restrictions.
