About Wulfrun Rose Nursing Home

Wulfrun Rose Nursing Home is a welcoming care home in Wolverhampton, offering nursing care in a setting where residents can feel at home. Families searching for the right place for a loved one will find a team dedicated to providing attentive, personalised support day to day. The home's location in Wolverhampton also means it is well placed for family visits, helping residents stay connected to the people who matter most to them.

Wulfrun Rose is a nursing home providing personal and nursing care to 59 people, with capacity for up to 67 residents. People felt safe living at the home, and staff considered risks to individuals and learned lessons when incidents occurred.

However, quality checks in the home were not always effective in identifying areas needing improvement. Guidance for as-required medicines was not always in place or reflective of how medicines were actually prescribed. Staff, relatives, and residents felt there were not always enough staff available, with some people having to wait for support.

Infection control guidance was not always fully followed, creating risks of cross-contamination.
