Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home

Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home, in Warwickshire, is a nursing home providing care for up to 43 younger and older people, including those living with dementia or physical disabilities. The CQC rated it Requires Improvement overall, finding breaches around environmental safety and governance. Significant fire safety concerns led to an urgent referral to the fire service, which took enforcement action, and checks on pressure-relieving equipment and medicine storage were inadequate.

Inspectors found staff were well trained and supportive, and people spoke warmly of kind, respectful care and enjoyable food. However, quality assurance systems had failed to identify serious risks, information was not always shared in accessible ways, and relatives were not routinely involved in care planning.
