St Georges Lodge Residential Care Home

St Georges Lodge Residential Care Home provides residential care for older people, including those living with dementia. The CQC assessed the service after concerns about food, cleanliness, staffing and medicines, and rated it Requires Improvement overall. Inspectors found breaches relating to safe care, staff recruitment checks, and governance, with risk assessments lacking detail and some unsafe moving and handling practices.

On the positive side, inspectors found staff to be kind, respectful and attentive, with good activities and end-of-life planning. Staffing levels were adequate and infection control was sound. People and relatives spoke positively about the home, describing it as friendly and well run, though the CQC has asked the provider for an action plan to address the shortfalls identified.
