Horton Cross Nursing Home is a nursing home in Somerset, providing care for older adults and people living with dementia. The CQC's latest findings on the service are set out below.
Horton Cross Nursing Home provides nursing care for up to 47 people, including older adults and those living with dementia. The CQC rated the home Good overall, finding significant improvements since its previous requires improvement rating, with a new registered manager praised for creating a positive, safety-focused culture and embedding stronger governance.
Inspectors found medicines were managed safely, risks were well monitored, and the environment had been extensively refurbished into a warm, homely space. Staff were described as kind and attentive, care plans were person-centred, and activities were varied and meaningful. Minor gaps remained around clarity of complaint outcomes and some clinical end-of-life care plans, though these did not affect the overall positive judgement.
