About Kingsthorpe View Care Home

Kingsthorpe View Care Home is a nursing home in Nottingham, providing personal and nursing care to older people, including those living with dementia. Further details from the Care Quality Commission's most recent inspection are set out below.

Kingsthorpe View Care Home provides personal and nursing care to older people and those living with dementia, supporting 40 people at the time of the assessment. The home had previously been rated inadequate, and inspectors found that improvements had since been made to risk management, staffing and medicine management.

However, the CQC found the provider remained in breach of regulations around governance and person-centred care. People had limited meaningful activities and were not always supported to have meals reflecting their cultural background, though staff were described as kind and the home clean and homely, with a safer garden now accessible.

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 18 March 2025. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of assessment 21 January 2025 to 31 January 2025. Kingsthorpe View is a ‘care home’ providing personal care and nursing care to older people and people living with dementia. At the time of the assessment, the service was supporting 40 people with their personal care needs. Kingsthorpe View was last rated inadequate (published 13 December 2024). At our last inspection we found improvement was needed and the service was in breach of legal regulation in relation to person-centred care, safe care and treatment, staffing and governance. At this inspection we found improvements had been made to the risk management, staffing and medicine management. However, the provider did not always have effective system and processes to ensure the building was safe, people were being simulated and were involved in meaningful activities. People were not involved in choice and control over their support and further works was needed to embedded oversight of the service. We received assurances the provider will address these following our site visit. The provider remains in breach of regulation in relation to governance and person centred care.
