Mayflower Court

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 4 March 2025. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of Assessment: 7 January to 24 January 2025. The service is a residential care home providing care and accommodation to older people including those living with dementia. We found breaches of 2 legal regulations concerning governance and safe care and treatment. Governance and oversight systems had not identified concerns we found or ensured that necessary action was taken when internal audits had identified areas for improvement. People’s health and safety risks were not always assessed and actions identified within care plans. Medicines and environment health and safety risks were not always managed safely. However, staff were suitably trained and positive about working at Mayflower Court. Care was based on latest evidence and good practice. People had enough to eat and drink to stay healthy. Staff worked with all agencies involved in people’s care for the best outcomes and smooth transitions when moving services. Staff supported people to make choices and decisions. Staff and people felt supported to give feedback and were treated equally, free from bullying or harassment. Staff understood their roles and responsibilities. Managers worked with the local community and supported people to access health appointments. We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to some of the concerns found at this assessment. In instances where CQC have decided to take civil or criminal enforcement action against a provider, we will publish this information on our website after any representations and or appeals have been concluded.
