Stamford Care Home

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 15 October 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Stamford Care Home is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care for up to 90 older people some of whom were living with dementia. At the time of the inspection the service was supporting 86 people. This was the first assessment carried out under our single assessment framework. This assessment was unannounced. The assessment was prompted in part due to concerns received from the local authority around staffing, cleanliness of premises, eating and drinking, health and safety and governance. We looked at the following quality statements; learning culture, safeguarding, involving people to manage risks, safe and effective staffing, infection prevention and control, medicines optimisation, delivering evidence-based care and treatment, capable, compassionate and inclusive leaders and governance and assurance. We did not assess all quality statements at this assessment. For those areas we did not assess, we used the ratings awarded at the last inspection to calculate the overall rating. We did not identify breaches of any Regulations during this assessment. We will continue to monitor information we receive about the service, which will help inform when we next assess them.
