St Anne's Nursing Home

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 3 August 2026. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

St Anne’s Nursing Home (St Anne’s) is a 65 bed care and nursing home for older people. We carried out an assessment of this service between 12 May 2026 and 5 June 2026. This included a combination of 3 on-site inspection days and remote assessment. St Anne’s is part of Blackberry Hill Ltd.

This was a comprehensive inspection carried out due to the age of the existing rating.

We found people were safe at St Anne’s. Care plans and risk assessments were thorough and person centred. The environment people lived in was safe and free from hazards. The service took action to prevent safeguarding events from occurring and learned from any incidents or complaints.

We observed caring practice and staff who knew the people who lived at St Anne’s well. People were treated with dignity and respect. People and their relatives were involved in their care and well communicated with. The service worked in partnerships with people and partner agencies such as commissioners and healthcare teams. Staff teams were knowledgeable and there was a positive culture with everyone supporting each other. Staff achievements and commitment were recognised and staff were encouraged to advance their skills.

People were engaged in varied and meaningful activities both on the premises and in the wider local community.

The registered manager at the service used innovative ways to raise funds and improve the environment. There was an open culture where people and staff were encouraged to share ideas and feedback to both recognise achievement as well as to drive improvement.
