About Watson House Rest Home

Watson House Rest Home is a residential care home in Blackpool, providing personal care to older people. Details of the most recent CQC findings are set out below.

Watson House Rest Home provides personal care to nine people aged 65 and over. Staff demonstrated a strong understanding of safeguarding, with people reporting they felt safe in their care. Risk assessments were in place to minimise potential harm, and medicines were safely managed as prescribed.

The home had robust recruitment procedures in place. However, care plans lacked comprehensive information in some instances, and inspectors noted thick dust in certain areas of the home, both of which were highlighted as areas for improvement.
