We carried out our unannounced on-site assessment on 24 January 2024. We started our onsite assessment 25 January and concluded 14 February 2024. Nutley Lodge is a ‘care home’ that provides care and support to older people living with dementia and physical disabilities. People in this care home receive accommodation for personal care without nursing. The service accommodates 27 people in one adapted building. At the time of the assessment 26 people were living at Nutley Lodge Care Home. We spent time with and spoke with 7 people living at the service, 3 relatives, 5 members of staff including the Registered manager and Provider. At our last inspection, we rated the service as good overall. At this assessment, we found standards of care had declined. There were 4 breaches of regulations relating to consent (regulations 11), safe care and treatment (Regulation 12), good governance (regulation 17) and fit and proper persons employed, regulation 18 (Staffing).
