The Fieldings

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 9 September 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of assessment 20 August 2024 to 29 August 2024. The Fieldings is a ‘care home’ providing personal care and support to older people and younger adults with physical disability, people living with dementia, people who experience drugs and alcohol dependency issues, and people living with mental health conditions. At the time of the assessment, the service was supporting 10 people with their personal care needs. The Fieldings was last rated Requires Improvement (published 7 May 2024). Both the previous and this assessment have been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). We returned to complete remaining quality statements which had not been covered in our first assessment because we had seen improvements. We assessed a total of 25 quality statements from the safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led key questions. The scores for these areas have been combined with scores from the previous assessment. This means the overall rating has changed from Requires Improvement to Good. This assessment did not cover all parts of our Single Assessment Framework; therefore, we have only updated scores and ratings for those areas which we have assessed. We will carry out future assessments to cover other parts of the Framework and will update our website with our findings.
