A CAMBRIDGE care home that was rated inadequate and placed in special measures has been reinspected and upgraded to good by the inspectorate.
St George’s Court was inspected in 2023 and told by Care Quality Commission inspectors it must improve the safety and care of its clients, staff knowledge and management.
Following a further inspection in spring last year, CQC said the home was no longer in breach of regulations and raised its overall rating to good.
Home manager Jayne Wardell said: “This has been an incredibly proud and rewarding journey. Together with the people we support, their families and our dedicated team, we have built a home where people truly thrive.
“We have focused on listening, learning and doing things better every day, and it is wonderful to see this recognised.”
The home provides personal and nursing care for up to 76 older people. It has been rated good in all five categories.
Hazel Roberts, CQC’s deputy director of adult social care in the East of England, said: “Everyone working at St George’s Court should be proud of the changes they’ve made for their residents.
“When we inspected St George’s Court Care Home, we were pleased to find significant improvements to people’s care, which was now consistently person-centred, respectful and kind.
“People living in the home told us they felt safe and happy with their care, and felt comfortable raising any concerns or ideas about it.”
