Polefield Nursing Home

Polefield nursing home provides personal and nursing care to up to 40 people, with 32 residents at the time of inspection. Staff are described as kind and caring, with people and staff reporting a positive culture throughout the home. The established team works in partnership with health and social care professionals and demonstrates motivation in their roles.

The home manages medicines safely and maintains robust recruitment practices. Staff follow infection prevention and control guidance to minimise risks of infection spread. While the provider has responded positively to concerns raised, improvements were identified in governance systems, incident and accident monitoring, and the need for additional equipment storage space.
