Wentworth House

This 25-bed care home in Salford currently supports 23 residents. Inspectors identified several areas requiring improvement, including inadequate record keeping and incomplete care plans for some residents despite months-long stays. While the home conducts audits to monitor quality, these processes need strengthening to catch documentation gaps.

Safety concerns were also noted, including medicines stored insecurely, unlocked sluice room doors, and fire doors propped open inappropriately. The care manager addressed these issues promptly following the inspection.

The home maintains sufficient staffing levels and follows correct recruitment procedures. Staff demonstrate good understanding of safeguarding responsibilities and reporting protocols. The service supports residents' choice and independence through appropriate policies, though one resident with bed rails required a Mental Capacity Act best interest decision that had not been completed.

Overall, while the home provides adequate staffing and safety awareness, improvements in documentation, auditing processes, and policy compliance would strengthen service quality.
