What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 16 June 2023 · Last inspected 25 May 2023

Inspectors visited Beaumont Park Nursing and Residential Home in May 2023 and rated it requires improvement, down from good at the previous inspection. The report found that staff did not always treat people with kindness, privacy or dignity, and that care plans often lacked detail about individual preferences and some known needs such as dementia. Inspectors also found that people were not consistently supported to take part in activities, that management checks were not always effective, and that staff training and supervision systems were not formally monitored.

Strengths noted
  • People felt safe living at the service and were supported safely with their medicines.
  • The service was clean, staff followed good infection control processes, and staff were recruited safely.
  • Staff worked well with health and social care professionals, and the management team learned lessons when things went wrong.
  • Inspectors saw some kind and compassionate support, and a relative described staff as always trying their best.
Areas to improve
  • Staff did not always respect people's privacy and dignity, and did not consistently support people in line with their preferences.
  • People went for long periods without interaction or engagement, and some risks and changing needs were not assessed or reviewed in a timely way.
  • The report describes a negative culture in parts of the service, with staff not always feeling supported by management, and recommends a review of staffing.
