The service worked within the principles of the Mental Capacity Act and we observed people being asked for their consent throughout our visit. People were given choices and offered opportunities to spend their time however they wished. Staff treated people with dignity and respect and were genuinely warm in their interactions with people. We have recently been able to open EAC Advice, a new 'housing options' advice service for older people.
Nursing Care
The inspection was prompted in part due to concerns received about how the service managed complaints and in relation to end of life care. As a result, we undertook a focused inspection to review the key questions of safe, responsive and well-led only. Ratings from previous comprehensive inspections for those key questions not inspected against were used in calculating the overall rating at this inspection. Just be aware that we do not provide housing or care services ourselves, so we cannot accept applications for housing and do not have any control over the services listed on our site.

Pennington Court Nursing Home accommodates people over two floors. Willow provides support for people who require registered nurses to provide their care and treatment. People living in the extra care flats are provided with personal care support. Not everyone who used the housing with support service received personal care, although the contract provides for two hours support each day. This inspection took place on 7 and 13 August 2018 and was unannounced. This was because equipment used to support people had not been subject to regular examination to ensure it remained safe to use.

If you intend to ‘stay put’ where you are, then thinking and planning ahead makes sense. Our site offers information and guidance that we hope will be of help to you. If you have a home to sell, you may be able to use the proceeds to pay the deposit on a new property and take out a ‘lifetime mortgage’ to cover the rest of the cost. We saw evidence which showed that appropriate checks were undertaken before staff began work to make sure they had the relevant experience and skills for the role.
We saw many examples of where the involvement of the local community had enabled people to feel included and maintain the links they previously had. People were also supported by staff to develop new interests which contributed to their overall wellbeing. People told us they looked forward to things and felt excited by activities, visits and events at the service. Our staff will support people to access any specialist care they may require. This could include occupational therapy, speech and language therapy or behavioural therapy.
