Riverside Rest Home

This Riverside Rest Home cares for 26 older people, some living with dementia, with 24 residents currently in residence. Located on Lytham seafront near the town centre, the home has established safeguarding procedures to protect people from harm, with staff receiving constant training on these processes. Medicine management is handled safely by trained staff, and infection control training is regularly updated. Recruitment processes are thorough to ensure suitable staff are employed, and risk assessments are completed and reviewed to promote residents' safety.

The management team maintains a good system to ensure sufficient staffing levels meet people's needs. Staff confidence in safeguarding procedures is high, with one staff member noting they feel confident in the process should they witness any abuse. While the home's laundry facility is small and presents some challenges in following best practice guidance, there is no evidence this has impacted on residents' health and wellbeing.
