About
Woodland Nursing Home is a 30-bed care home in Ilford, Redbridge, that has been part of the local community since 1992. The purpose-built home is spread over three floors and offers single rooms throughout. It provides residential, nursing, dementia and respite care, with qualified nurses on duty around the clock. The home has been multicultural from the start, and its activities mark occasions such as Diwali, Eid, Holi and Christmas. Meals are cooked fresh each day, with varied cultural recipes alongside nutritional requirements. Residents have communal lounges, dining areas and quiet spaces to use.
The Care Quality Commission rated the home Requires Improvement overall in a report published in 2023. Its Effective, Caring and Responsive areas were rated Good, while Safe and Well-led were rated Requires Improvement.
What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 3 January 2023 · Last inspected 23 November 2022
Inspectors found enough staff to support the people living at the home, and medicines were handled safely. People were supported to make their own choices, with the least restrictive approach used, and staff were described as positive about how the service is run. The home was kept clean, with infection prevention steps in place.
- Staffing levels were sufficient, and checks carried out when recruiting new staff were thorough.
- Medicines were managed safely.
- Protections against abuse and steps to keep the premises safe were in place, and lessons were learned when things went wrong.
- Staff spoke well of the management and the working atmosphere, and understood their own roles.
- Care plans and risk assessments did not always cover people's needs relating to epilepsy and diabetes, and where they did, they often lacked enough detail.
- The provider's quality checks were not effective enough, as they did not identify the gaps in care plans and risk assessments.
