Herne Place Care Home

This residential care home provides personal care to 62 residents aged 65 and over, with capacity for up to 66 people. The service supports residents with various care needs including dementia and age-related frailty.

During the inspection, shortfalls were identified in the service's risk documentation records. The home's own internal audits had already flagged these issues, and management was actively working to update records promptly and efficiently. The manager acknowledged recent staffing challenges that had necessitated agency support, but confirmed new permanent staff had been recruited safely, with ongoing recruitment efforts underway.
