About St John's Home

St John's Home is a residential care home in West Northamptonshire, providing personal care for older people. Further details from the Care Quality Commission's most recent inspection are set out below.

St John's Home accommodates up to 50 older people requiring nursing or personal care. At inspection, 30 residents were using the service. Staff conducted assessments and implemented risk assessments to guide care, though high-risk medication assessments were absent.

Environmental risks existed but the registered manager addressed these concerns following the inspection.

Medicines were managed safely and staff received safeguarding training, understanding how to respond to potential risks. Recruitment processes were secure and staff worked effectively with external professionals. Residents and families provided positive feedback about the service, staff, and management.
