The Birches Nursing Home

The Birches Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care to up to 24 people aged 65 and over. People told inspectors they felt safe living at the home and spoke positively about the care provided. Relatives also gave positive feedback about the service. The home conducts relevant recruitment checks before staff begin working to ensure they are of good character and have the necessary skills.

However, some environmental risks were not managed effectively, and improvements were needed for the safe management of water at the home.
