Report published 9 January 2023 · Last inspected 1 December 2022

Brackenfield Hall is a residential home for up to 60 people, with some living with dementia, across four units on two floors. Inspectors found the home clean and well presented, with staff who were kind, caring and knew people well, and reported that people took part in activities, had access to healthcare and were given a balanced diet. Staffing levels, medicines handling, safeguarding and recruitment were all judged satisfactory.

  • People were involved in the running of the home through regular meetings and feedback questionnaires
  • Leadership responded quickly to issues raised and used audits to monitor quality
Areas to improve
