Springfield Lodge Care Home

Springfield Lodge Care Home provides accommodation and personal care for up to 40 older people, including those living with dementia. The CQC rated the home Good overall, marking a significant turnaround from its previous inadequate rating and exit from special measures. Inspectors found a warm, settled environment with kind, responsive staff and positive relationships between residents, relatives and the care team.

Previous concerns around governance and medicines had largely been resolved, though inspectors noted further work was needed on as-required medicines, covert administration and staff training oversight, with management acting promptly during the assessment. A new leadership team had improved morale and direction, and governance systems were described as continuing to develop.
