Date of assessment 1 October to 25 October 2024. Ashfield Nursing Home is a care home that provides nursing and personal care for older adults. At the time of the assessment the service supported 39 people, including people living with advanced dementia and mental health conditions. Ashfield Nursing Home was last rated Requires Improvement (published 19 February 2022). The report was published following CQC’s old inspection approach using Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs), prompts and ratings characteristics. This assessment has been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). We have identified breaches in relation to the environment and governance systems. The environment was not always maintained, we found issues with equipment and maintence of the home. This placed people at an increased risk of harm. We found governance systems in place either failed to identify issues or where issues had been identified timely action was not taken. We asked the provider for an action plan in response to our concerns, the provider responded in a timely manner addressing the issues we found.
