About Nutten Stoven Residential Home

Nutten Stoven Residential Home brings a warm and homely feel to its corner of Lincolnshire, offering older people a place where they can feel genuinely comfortable and cared for. The team here understands how much it means to families to find the right environment for their loved ones, and that sense of responsibility shapes everything they do. With its residential setting and dedicated staff, Nutten Stoven aims to provide a supportive, familiar atmosphere that residents can truly call home.

This residential care home provides personal care for up to 30 older people, some living with dementia. At inspection, 12 people were using the service.

The home has significant concerns around medicines management. Although the registered manager introduced an electronic system to manage medicines, it was not working correctly, leaving people at risk of not receiving their prescribed medications as intended.

There were also gaps in staff recruitment procedures. While disclosure and barring checks were completed to ensure staff safety, the registered manager failed to obtain full work histories or current references from all staff members, creating potential safeguarding risks.
