Inspection history
| Published | Overall | Change | Transition | AI summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-03-18 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Chestnut House Nursing Home received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because the provider's governance systems failed to address known safety risks, particularly faulty fire doors and hot water systems that were identified in previous inspections and the provider's own audits. Although staff provided caring, personalised support and people felt safe day-to-day, the home has been non-compliant with regulations since 2017, representing a continued breach of governance and risk management requirements. |
