About St. Cecilia's Nursing Home

St. Cecilia's Nursing Home is a nursing care home in North Yorkshire, providing personal and nursing care for older people. The findings below set out the CQC's most recent assessment of the service.

St. Cecilia's Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care to 35 people aged 65 and over, with capacity for up to 44 residents. The home had previously designated a five-bedded setting for COVID-19 positive people, but this setting did not meet infection prevention and control standards when used separately.

The provider has discontinued use of this area as a designated COVID-19 setting following CQC feedback.

Staff followed government guidance on use of personal protective equipment, and the environment was maintained as clean and hygienic with no COVID-19 outbreak occurring. Care plans and risk assessments were in place for all residents' support needs and were reviewed regularly to reflect their health conditions.
