During an inspection looking at part of the service
Priestley Rose Nursing Home is a care home providing personal and nursing care to up to 47 people. The service provides support to adults of all ages, some of whom may have dementia or physical disabilities. At the time of our inspection there were 37 people using the service.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People were protected from the risk of harm through effective systems which assessed, monitored and mitigated risks to people’s health, safety and welfare. People were supported by an established staff team, who knew people’s needs well. People received their medicines safely and were cared for in an environment where the risk of infection was managed through regular cleaning and good hygiene practices.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Quality assurance systems were effective for people, which meant people received consistent, good quality and safe care. People, relatives and staff spoke positively about the management of the service and systems were in place to seek people’s feedback and drive continuous improvements.

Rating at last inspection
The last rating for this service was good (published 19 October 2019).
Why we inspected
The inspection was prompted in part by notification of an incident following which a person using the service died. This incident is subject to further investigation by CQC as to whether any regulatory action should be taken. As a result, this inspection did not examine the circumstances of the incident. However, the information shared with CQC about the incident indicated potential concerns about the management of healthcare emergencies. This inspection examined those risks. We found no evidence during this inspection that people were at risk of harm from this concern. Please see the safe and well-led sections of this full report.
We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the Safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to COVID-19 and other infection outbreaks effectively.
Follow up
We will continue to monitor information we receive about the service, which will help inform when we next inspect.
