What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 13 July 2023 · Last inspected 18 May 2023

Inspectors found that Wentworth House, a Salford care home for up to 25 people, needs to improve record keeping and some care planning, though staffing levels, safeguarding knowledge, recruitment and the upkeep of equipment and premises were found to be in order. People were supported to make choices and were cared for in the least restrictive way, and the home collected feedback through surveys, out-of-hours spot checks and staff supervision.

Strengths noted
  • Enough staff were deployed to meet people's needs safely, and recruitment procedures were followed correctly
  • Staff understood safeguarding and how to raise concerns
  • Equipment and the premises were well maintained
  • People were supported to have choice and control, with least restrictive practice in line with home policies
Areas to improve
  • Record keeping needed to improve, and some care plans lacked important detail about people's care needs
  • Some people had no appropriate care plan despite living at the home for several months
  • Quality audits did not reliably identify and address gaps in records
