Seacroft Court Nursing Home

Updated 13 August 2024

Seacroft Court Care Home provides accommodation and personal care for up to 50 older people, some of whom live with dementia. At the time of our assessment there were 21 people living at the service. This assessment was conducted between 9 August 2024 and 21 August 2024. We assessed this service as it has been in Special Measures since 1 September 2023. At the last inspection, we found breaches of regulation and concerns in relation to risk management, safeguarding and governance and leadership. At this assessment we looked at 15 quality statements across the 2 key questions of safe and well-led and found the service had made improvements and is no longer in breach of regulations. Risks to people’s health, safety and welfare were now assessed and mitigated. People were protected from the risk of abuse due to improvements in staff training and knowledge. Improvements in governance systems meant the provider and registered manager were better able to assess and monitor the quality of the service and drive further improvement. The service is no longer rated inadequate overall or in any of the key questions. Therefore, this service is no longer in Special Measures.

We are improving how we hear people’s experience and views on services, where people have limited verbal communication. We used a combination of speaking with people and their relatives, reviewing written feedback and observing care to help us understand the experience of people who could not talk with us. People and their relatives were consistently positive about the care provided, the numbers and knowledge of the staff team, and the overall quality of the services provided. They were complimentary about the improvements made since our last inspection. A relative’s comments summed up what we were told by everyone. They said, “Lots of improvements, communication, recruiting staff, all the staff are great, they phone if there is an issue, they have far more activities, cleanliness is 100% better, it is friendly and we are made to feel like part of the community.”
