The Beaufort Care Home

The Beaufort Care Home is a nursing home in Bristol providing accommodation and personal care for up to 29 people, including those living with dementia or cognitive impairment. The CQC found the service required improvement overall, remaining in breach of regulations on good governance, though earlier concerns about safe care, premises and staffing had been resolved. Quality assurance checks still had not identified some ongoing issues.

Inspectors found people and relatives spoke positively about kind, attentive staff and a clean, comfortable environment. However, staffing shifts meant some people waited longer for support, particularly in mornings, and care plans were not always updated with enough guidance or involvement from people and their families.
