Shortly after the inspection the registered manager provided copies of fire drills carried out. We have made a recommendation that the registered provider reviews the latest fire safety guidance for care homes. Our leading human rights-based care approach is the cornerstone of our organisation. We ensure our service users are at the centre of everything we do, promoting individuality and encouraging autonomy. Recognised at the CQC’s Annual Equality Conference, our approach is used to deliver value-based training to the NHS and other social care providers. Our last inspection took place on 06 and 08 September 2016 when we gave an overall rating of the service as 'Requires Improvement'.
They inspect care homes and care services to make sure they are safe, caring, effective, responsive and well-led. This site offers providers of services, accommodation and related advice a free opportunity to advertise what you do. The site’s 4 million visitors a year comprise roughly 45% older people, 45% younger family and relatives, and 10% professionals who work with older people. As part of this inspection we observed people who use the service, the registered manager, and three care staff.

However, some people felt the home needed to recruit regular staff rather than relying on the continued use of agency staff. The first day was unannounced which meant the service did not know we were coming. This is a male-only 16-bed unit, to care for and support individuals with diagnoses, as listed above, who display distress reactions. This is a mixed-gender 16-bed unit, to support and care for individuals that are in the earlier stages of the conditions listed above. This is a female-only 16-bed unit, to care for and support individuals with diagnoses, as listed above, who display distress reactions. If this is your business, you can claim it and manage the information shown to care seekers.
We need to do this together.” We viewed audits which showed us areas for improvement were identified and action taken as appropriate. On the day of our inspection there were 55 people living at Moston Grange. We spoke with seven people in different units, two relatives and nine members of staff.

Full information about CQC's regulatory response to the more serious concerns found during inspections is added to reports after any representations and appeals have been concluded. St Mary’s Nursing Home is a care home in the Greater Manchester suburb of Moston that provides high standards of nursing and residential care. This includes care for people with challenging physical needs, those with a dementia or a related condition, as well as palliative, day and respite ...
It includes all 11,500 registered care homes in the UK that cater exclusively or primarily for older people. There is no charge whatsoever to appear in it, and we welcome a photo and descriptive text to enhance the presentation of your home. 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. We have recently been able to open EAC Advice, a new 'housing options' advice service for older people. Care homes are regulated by independent Inspectorates in each country of the UK, subject to periodic inspections and awarded quality grades. Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the care home pages on this website.
Care Quality Commission inspection rating
There were improvements in the way medicines were supplied since our last inspection. Medicines, especially those that were prescribed following a GP visit, were now obtained in enough time so that people could start their treatment promptly. – the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service. Set within its own landscaped grounds, Moston Grange is a purpose-built care home. Deanvale, Hollybank and Mapledene provides care for both adult men and women, with Woodside providing care for men only.The separate central administration block lies inbetween the houses. The home is situated in the North of Manchester city centre close to main transport routes to and from the city.
One staff member told us how there were plans to improve the environment for people who lived on one of the units, and extra staff had been recruited to provide activities for people who lived at Moston Grange. Systems were in place to deal with any emergency that could affect the provision of care, such as a failure of the electricity and gas supply. However, we found the home did not have records of fire drills since 2015. The registered manager was confident these drills had taken place recently, but couldn’t locate the evidence of these fire drills during the inspection.
Silverdene Residential Home
Two inspectors and an expert by experience carried out this inspection on the 10 July. Part of the purpose was to follow up a ”dementia themed” inspection which was carried out in February 2014. A 'dementia themed' inspection focusses specifically on the care and support provided for people living with dementia. During our inspection in February we found Moston Grange was not meeting four standards and we required the service to tell us how they were going to improve. On this inspection we spent most of our time on two units, as this is where we previously identified the majority of our concerns. We looked to see whether these standards were now being met and included another standard to check people were respected and involved in their care and support needs.
EAC Advice is a free, specialist and independent telephone advice service provide by the charity Elderly Accommodation Counsel . If affording work to your home is an issue, Age UK’s factsheet Home improvements and repairs is a good read, as is OneFamily’s webpage How to fund home improvements. Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold. Buying a ‘home for life plan’, or ‘lifetime lease’, gives you the right to live in a property until you die or move to a care home. At Equilibrium Healthcare, we believe that the needs of our service users are best served by working in co-operation with the various stakeholders. We put a lot of effort into creating working partnerships to ensure that care for our service users is seamless and that their individual care pathways always remain the focus of our service provision.
Care services offered to people in housing-with-care facilities are regulated, subject to periodic inspections and awarded grades. Wherever possible, Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the housing-with-care pages on this website. At Equilibrium Healthcare we believe in the equality and human rights of all our service users. We have created environments that reflect each service user's individuality, providing a sense of belonging. Staff received appropriate training to ensure they were competent to meet people’s needs however we saw agency staff used did not support people in the correct way.
We also shared these concerns with a senior manager from Equilibrium Healthcare so that immediate action could be taken to ensure people who used the service were safeguarded. However, these matters had been fully investigation by the provider and none of the allegations subsequently resulted in any formal disciplinary sanction being issued against staff. Moston Grange Nursing Home is registered to provide nursing care and accommodation for up to 64 people who require treatment or support.
We found more could have been done to ensure people were supported effectively by staff who knew them well. Accommodation is arranged over five units within two single-storey residential buildings. Deanvale and Mapledene Units provide care for both adult men and women. Woodside Unit provides support to adult men with a neurological/degenerative disorder.
This helped to protect people from being cared for and supported by unsuitable staff. Disciplinary processes were effectively used, to manage poor performance of staff, when required. See CQC's page explaining ratings for more details about ratings and inspection practices of care homes in England.
Our meals are all designed to stimulate the senses, encourage a healthy diet and bring back happy memories for our service users. We have created an environment that everyone would be proud to call home. We pride ourselves on a positive dining experience with visual and attractive nutrition options provided.
At Moston Grange there was one person for whom a DoLS authorisation had been applied for at the time of our visit. We discussed the authorisation with the manager during the inspection and it was clear that the manager had a good understanding of the processes in place. The safe management of medicines was not consistent across the service. That’s why Care Concierge’s care experts will act as your personal care consultants.
