About Nayland House Care Home

Nayland House Care Home is a residential care home in Suffolk, offering accommodation and personal care for adults, including some people living with dementia. The full findings from the most recent CQC inspection are set out below.

The home had robust systems to protect people from harm. Risk assessments were in place and mitigation actions were taken. Staffing levels were adequate to meet people's needs and recruitment was safe.

Medicines were managed safely and given when needed. Infection control procedures were followed by staff, and the service demonstrated a commitment to learning from past incidents.
