About
Crossley House is an elegant Georgian house in the village of Winterbourne, Bristol, with single occupancy accommodation for up to 17 registered beds. Its secluded grounds, planted with mature trees, can be enjoyed by residents either alone or with support where needed, and the village amenities are within walking distance. The home specialises in dementia care, and staff work to help residents feel secure both emotionally and physically.
On the ground floor, a larger lounge with a television sits alongside a quieter room suited to conversation and activities. Meals are served in a conservatory that is light and airy, and a chairlift provides access to the first floor. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2022 report, with Good ratings for the Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led key questions.
What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 8 April 2022 · Last inspected 4 March 2022
Crossley House is a residential care home for up to 17 people, including older people and those living with dementia, and 15 people lived there when inspectors visited in March 2022. Inspectors found that staff knew residents well, followed safeguarding procedures, and gave respectful support with personal care, with care plans kept up to date. Recent recruitment meant most shifts were covered by permanent staff, and a wider range of activities was starting again as pandemic restrictions eased.
- Staff recognise the signs of possible harm, know what action to take, and work with other agencies to protect people.
- Medicines are given as prescribed and handled safely by competent staff.
- Individual risk assessments reflect people's needs and guide staff in providing safe care.
- The service has improved since its last inspection, with earlier breaches addressed and the overall rating raised to good.
- The handling of creams and ointments needs to be improved.
- Staff training is not always up to date or in line with current best practice.
