Care home in Calderdale rated good in all areas by Care Quality Commission

The home provides care for up to 25 residents and was the subject of an unannounced inspection in October.

Inspectors found people were provided safe care and treatment and that there were robust procedures in place in relation to safe staffing.

The report says residents are protected effectively from the risk of harm or abuse, and that relatives are involved in making decisions around care.

Rooms are clean and hygienic and bedrooms were well personalised, inspectors found, and residents are supported to live healthier lives and have access to health care services.

Staff are praised in the report for being kind, caring and compassionate to residents, while leaders are regarded as approachable, and would address any concerns swiftly and appropriately.

Inspectors say medicines are generally administered well, but there was a lack of specific information about people’s needs around medication management.

Inspectors found some improvements were required to care planning and contemporaneous record keeping, but say the care home has has provided information as to how they will address these issues.

Melanie Conlon, home manager, said: "This is a fantastic achievement for the home.

"I joined the team in September 2024 and in that time I have supported the owners and team to keep the rating the same as it was when it was last inspected in April 2022.

"It’s a testament to all the hard work everyone puts in, day in, day out, 365 days a year. It’s a pleasure to work in such a caring home."

Director Thomas Enefer said: "What a brilliant outcome for all involved.

"It truly cements our commitment to the care and support, the people who live in our care home receive.

"To receive a ‘good’ doesn’t quite give the staff the credit they deserve.

"It’s difficult to get rated ‘good’. We are celebrating by giving all the staff a night out, this Friday with free food and an open bar!"
