What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 7 October 2021 · Last inspected 14 September 2021
Inspectors found that people and their relatives were broadly positive about The Belvedere, a dementia-focused home for up to 41 people, saying they felt safe and were supported by kind staff. Medicines were managed safely and staffing levels were considered sufficient, though new ancillary and domestic roles were being recruited for. The home has been without a registered manager since the previous one left, and governance and some record-keeping were judged to need improvement.
- People and their relatives described feeling safe and cared for by kind staff
- Risks to people were assessed and recorded in support plans

- No registered manager is currently in post, and a new manager has not yet applied to register
