Families looking for care in this part of the county will find a dedicated team working to support residents in their day-to-day lives. It can be a big decision choosing the right home for a loved one, and St Christopher's aims to be a place where residents feel comfortable and cared for.

St Christopher's Home provides personal care to 40 residents aged 65 and over, with capacity for up to 54 people. The home's systems for reviewing and monitoring quality require improvement. Risks to residents had not consistently been mitigated, with staff not always following established strategies.

There were gaps in records for pressure care and food and fluid intake, and injuries were not always appropriately documented. Residents and visitors expressed concerns that staffing levels were insufficient, and staff did not always respond promptly to people's needs.
