Alexander Court Nursing Home

During an assessment under our new approach

Alexander Court is a nursing home providing accommodation and personal care to older people. The service can support up to 60 people. At the time of this assessment, there were 29 people living at Alexander Court. This is the first assessment of this newly registered service. This assessment did not cover all parts of our Single Assessment Framework; therefore, we have only updated scores and ratings for those areas which we have assessed. We will carry out future assessments to cover other parts of the Framework and will update our website and findings. The inspection was prompted by concerns received about safe care and support and management of the service. We looked at 14 quality statements during this assessment. During our assessment, we found two breaches of the legal regulations in relation to safe care and treatment and governance. People’s care plans contained contradictory or missing information. Medicines were not always managed safely. Governance systems and audits had not been consistently implemented and were not effective in identifying or addressing areas for improvement.
