What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 6 December 2023 · Last inspected 21 November 2023

Holmfield Care is a residential home for up to 24 older people, including some living with dementia; at inspection it had 21 residents. Inspectors found care plans were person-centred, medicines were handled safely, and people could join in activities, with staff and management well regarded. Mealtimes were calm and residents were supported with choice, consent and visiting.

Strengths noted
  • Care plans are person-centred and guide staff to meet residents' needs, including communication needs.
  • Medicines are managed safely, with stricter-controlled medicines recorded correctly.
  • Quality checks are effective, with regular meetings and feedback sought from residents.
  • Staff are recruited safely, receive relevant induction and training, and mealtimes are calm and respectful.
Areas to improve
  • Parts of the home look tired and need refurbishment, and the inspectors recommended an updated environment and a refurbishment schedule.
  • The medicines room was too warm, which the registered manager said would be addressed so medicines are not affected.
