The Orchard Nursing Home

The Orchard Nursing Home provides accommodation and personal care for up to 63 people, with 54 residents at the time of inspection. Staff engaged warmly with residents, maintaining good communication despite wearing masks and occasionally writing things down to aid understanding. A dedicated wellbeing team worked to prevent loneliness and boredom among residents.

The home displayed clear, accessible information about COVID-19 and had developed comprehensive policies, procedures and risk assessments to manage the service effectively.
