The latest report, explained
What inspectors found, December 2023
Blackwell Road is rated Good; inspectors found safe, person-centred care and strong management, with the inspection focused on safety and leadership.
Inspectors visited on 25 October 2023. They spoke with the person living at the home, relatives, support workers, managers and the person's GP. They also checked care records, medicines records, staff files and management records.
The person was supported to stay safe while making choices and living as independently as possible. Inspectors found that staff understood the person's needs, managed medicines safely, followed risk plans and supported an active life in the local community.
