Silverleigh Cedars

Silverleigh Cedars, in Devon, provides accommodation, personal and nursing care for up to 65 older people, including those with physical disabilities, mental health needs or dementia. The CQC rated the home Good overall. The assessment followed concerns about staffing levels and care quality, and inspectors found feedback on staffing and response times was mixed, with some people feeling their choices and care were sometimes delayed.

Management were reviewing staff deployment to address this.

Inspectors found risks were well managed and medicines handled safely, though recording of creams needed improvement, which was addressed during the visits. Staff were kind and respectful, people felt safe and well cared for, and the service worked effectively with health professionals. Governance was strong, with management responding quickly to shortfalls identified.
