About St George's Hotel

St George's Hotel is a residential care home in Cornwall, providing personal care for older people, including some living with dementia. Details of the Care Quality Commission's most recent findings are set out below.

St Georges Hotel provides personal care for up to 22 older people, some living with dementia. At inspection, 17 people were using the service.

Staff had not completed necessary checks and records to ensure people's safety. Practice fire evacuations had not been carried out, and health monitoring information was not always recorded correctly. When healthcare professionals provided advice, actions taken were not always documented, making it difficult to monitor people's progress.

Medicine management was inconsistent with best practice standards, creating safety concerns for residents. The home did not follow proper procedures for managing, administering and checking medicines.
