About The Moors

The Moors is a residential care home in West Northamptonshire, offering a familiar, homely environment for those who need support with their day-to-day lives. The surrounding residential area gives the home a genuine sense of community, with everyday life continuing just outside the door. Families looking into care options here will find a setting that feels more like a home than an institution, which can make a real difference when it matters most.

The Moors provides personal care to five younger adults with learning disabilities and autism across two adapted buildings—four people in the main house and one in an annexe. The service operates in a family-sized house within a residential area.

Inspectors found concerns with medicines management. Best practice guidance was not consistently followed, and when people received medicines on an as-needed basis, proper protocols were not in place. Health and safety audits were also not consistently completed in accordance with best practice guidance.
