The Cottage Nursing Home

The Cottage Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care for up to 33 people aged 65 and over, with 32 residents at the time of inspection. Some residents were living with dementia. The home is housed in a single building across two floors, featuring communal spaces including a lounge, dining room, activities room and secure garden.

The provider and registered manager monitored quality and safety, though quality audits needed strengthening to consistently identify and address shortfalls. Improvements were recommended for audits of medicines and care plans to ensure they were sufficiently robust and effective.
