About St Armands Court

St Armands Court is a residential care home in Leeds, offering personal care for older people. Further detail on the CQC's most recent findings is set out below.

St Armand's Court provides personal and nursing care for up to 40 older people. The home maintains generally good infection prevention and control practices, with visitors screened for symptoms and temperature checks in place. The premises are clean with well-maintained bathrooms and equipment.

Staff receive training on infection safety measures, and the service follows government guidance for COVID-19 testing of residents and staff.

During inspection, some gaps were identified in cleaning documentation, particularly for bathroom checks and shared equipment cleaning records. The registered manager promptly addressed these issues. While the home demonstrates appropriate arrangements for infection control, records management needed immediate improvement to ensure consistent monitoring of cleanliness standards across all areas.
