Holly Tree Lodge Residential Home Derby

Holly Tree Lodge Residential Home Derby provides residential care for up to 27 older people living with dementia. The CQC rated the home Requires Improvement, finding a breach of regulation relating to good governance. Risks were not always fully assessed, care records lacked up-to-date detail, and staffing levels were not always sufficient to meet people's needs, particularly at busy times.

Inspectors found staff to be kind, attentive and knowledgeable about the people they supported, with relatives praising the caring relationships built within the home. However, opportunities for meaningful activity were limited, and management oversight had not consistently identified concerns around staffing, medicines and documentation. The provider had begun making improvements but needed time to embed and prove these changes.
