The CQC carried out a focused inspection after concerns were raised about staffing and medicine management, and found the service performing well overall, rated Good.

People told inspectors they felt safe and well supported, and that staff understood their individual needs. Some experienced waits for help at busy times, and there were mixed views on how well families were kept informed, though a new registered manager and recording system had recently been introduced.

Meadow Grange Nursing Home Limited is a residential home without nursing care for older people, some of whom are living with dementia. At the time of our visit, there were 53 people living at the home. The inspection was prompted in part, due to concerns we received about staffing and medicine management as well as the length of time passed since our last inspection. A decision was made for us to assess and examine those risks. We undertook a focused inspection to review some of the key questions relevant to those areas.
