A CARE home which was of concern for the country’s health watchdog has been rated good in its most recent inspection.

In October 2014, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) visited Iffley Residential and Nursing Home in Oxford following “concerning information” it received about the service.

During the visit, inspectors found not all residents’ “nutritional needs were met”, resulting in the watchdog telling care home managers to make improvements.

But last week the home was rated good after inspectors published a report following a re-inspection in July.

The care home, which currently has 69 residents and specialises in assisting people living with dementia, has been called “effective, well-led and responsive”, but inspectors said the safety of the home still required improvement.

In the report on the home, inspectors said: “People spoke positively about the care they received from care staff.

“Care workers knew the people they cared for and what was important to them.

“People were treated with dignity and kindness from care workers and were supported to make choices.

“Care workers respected people and ensured that their dignity was respected during personal care.”

As well as residents speaking highly of the home, care workers also said they got ample opportunity to improve their skills and further their careers with training.
