Archived: Rosedale Care Home

Updated 17 February 2022

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the provider is meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008.

As part of CQC’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic we are looking at how services manage infection control and visiting arrangements. This was a targeted inspection looking at the infection prevention and control measures the provider had in place. We also asked the provider about any staffing pressures the service was experiencing and whether this was having an impact on the service.

This inspection took place on 26 January 2022 and was announced. We gave the service 24 hours' notice of the inspection.

Rating at last inspection:

At the last inspection in August/September 2017 the service was rated Requires Improvement (report published on 14 March 2018). At that inspection we found two breaches of Regulations. They related to safe care and treatment and quality monitoring systems.

Why we inspected:

This was a planned inspection based on the rating at the last inspection. The provider is no longer in breach of the two Regulations identified at the last inspection. At this inspection the service has made sufficient improvements to be rated Good.
