Mellish House Residential Home

Mellish House provides accommodation and personal care for up to 48 people across two floors, with specialist dementia care on both floors. At inspection, 42 people were using the service.

The management team conducted various audits to assess care quality and safety, including daily building walk-arounds. However, inspectors identified shortfalls in fire safety, dignified handling of residents' belongings following death, medicines management, and access to personal care equipment that had not been caught by existing oversight systems. In response, the registered manager took action to update and improve systems to strengthen governance.
