Parker House Nursing Home

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 7 June 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Parker House Nursing Home is a ‘residential care home’ providing nursing and personal care and support to older and younger adults some of whom were living with dementia. At the time of the assessment, the service was supporting 19 people. Parker House Nursing Home was last rated Requires Improvement (published 23 January 2024). The report was published following CQC’s old inspection approach using key lines of enquiry (KLOEs), prompts and ratings characteristics. During that inspection we found issues relating to the safety of the service, management and environment. During this assessment we found improvements had been made. This assessment has been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). We carried out our on-site assessment on 02 April 2024. This was an unannounced assessment, which means the provider was not told an assessment was going to be starting beforehand. During this assessment we looked at 14 quality statements; Learning Culture, Safeguarding; Involving people to manage risks; Safe and effective staffing; Medicines Optimisation; Infection prevention and control; Safe environments; Assessing needs; Supporting people to live healthier lives; Person-centred care; Listening to and involving people; Shared direction and culture; Capable, compassionate and inclusive leaders and Governance, management and sustainability. We assessed some but not all quality statements at this visit which means we use the ratings from the previous inspection to rate the key questions of effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
