About Knightsbridge Lodge

Knightsbridge Lodge is a residential care home in Gloucestershire, providing care and nursing support for older people. Details of the CQC's most recent findings on the home are set out below.

The home cares for older people and provides residential care with nursing support. During the inspection, staff demonstrated commitment to maintaining safety standards and had implemented improved infection control procedures following previous identified shortfalls. Quality monitoring processes had been strengthened, and recruitment practices now met regulatory requirements.

Staff interactions with residents were observed to be warm and supportive. The home maintained good communication with families and ensured residents' healthcare needs were coordinated with external medical services. While the service had made significant improvements in safety measures, ongoing development was identified in areas relating to the effectiveness of care provision and the consistency of standards across all aspects of the service.
