A LATCHFORD care home has been rated as good by the Care Quality Commission after an inspection.

Westy Hall Residential Care Home has received a rated of good from the CQC following an unannounced inspection last month.

The Marsden Avenue home, which is run by CLS Care Service Limited, is registered to provide care for up to 30 older people including 10 places on a special unit for people living with dementia.

A report into the home said: “People we spoke with happy with the care they received – we observed caring relationships between staff members and the people living in the home.

“People were treated with dignity and respect by the staff team – the staff knew the care and support needs of individuals well and took an interest in people and their families in order to provide person-centred care.

“A positive culture was evident in the service where people who used the service came first and staff knew and respected that it was their home.

“People were actively encouraged to engage with the local community and maintain relationships that were important to them.”
