People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as single package under one contractual agreement. The Care Quality Commission regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection. Moston Grange Nursing Home is owned and operated by EHC Moston Grange Limited, trading as Equilibrium Healthcare, and is registered with CQC to accommodate up to 64 people.
Daily help, including personal care, is available on site and one or more meals are available daily in a dining room or restaurant. Additional facilities are also common – for example hairdressing salons, hobby rooms and gyms. Organised activities will focus on helping residents maintain their health and wellbeing. We unite diverse perspectives from across the medical community and technology sector to continuously find new ways to improve our care. From our state-of-the-virtual Equipod to our virtual experience centre, we pioneer innovation to help make care more efficient, bring families closer, and help our service users to live more independent lives.

The first day was unannounced, which meant the service did not know in advance we were coming. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them. – the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve. Moston Grange Nursing Home offers Dementia and Older People (65+) care. Our HousingCare PLUS and PREMIUM subscription services offer additional branding, links to your own site, ‘vacancy / availability ads’ and much more. Our site offers information and guidance that we hope will be of help to you.
We had received a compliant about the lack of activities available and poor communication between staff and people using the service. We carried out an observation using a short observational framework for inspection to measure this. People’s records identified personal preferences and choices and the support that needed to be provided.

A popular feature on our site is the Entertainers’ Directory, which offers an advertising opportunity to entertainers who enjoy performing to older people in retirement housing, day centre and care home settings. EAC sees itself, and this website, as one source of ‘housing options’ information and advice for older people and their families. But there are many other organisations providing valuable services, both locally and nationally. Also known as Care & Repair agencies, are local non-profit organisations set up to help older people think about, plan, finance and organise work on their homes.
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.
Care provided
These services tackle smaller repair jobs, including installing safety & security devices. They are provided by many local Age UKs as well as other organisations. We champion personalisation and choice as the best ways to provide comfort and aid rehabilitation. All five of our services have recently undergone a multi-million-pound renovation, creating safe spaces that meet the highest standards in hygiene and equipment.
There is often a substantial difference between fees charged to those who can afford the costs themselves and those who receive help from their Local Authority. A majority of homes aim to cater for both, but some target only one or the other. With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available.
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. We’ll research on your behalf and find you the right care, at the right cost - turning stress into straightforward.
We also spoke with the registered manager who has been registered with the Care Quality Commission since March 2014. We looked at a variety of records, including care plans, audit records and policies. Deanvale, Hollybank and Mapledene which provides care for both men and women, and Woodside providing care for men only. There is a separate central administration block which lies in between the houses. Accommodation is arranged over five units; Deanvale, Mapledene, Woodside, Hollybank View and Hollybank Vale. Nursing care is provided to people living with various forms of neurological disorder such as dementia, acquired brain injury and other forms of degenerative mental health disorders.
Our site provides information about every retirement scheme, development or village in the UK, to help you make the right choice. If so, do not lose the opportunity to update your company's profile, add products, offers and higher position in search engines. We strive to achieve high quality standards throughout the operation and to provide the highest standards of care, it is obviously very important to have the highest quality of staff. At the last inspection we found records were not securely stored and the provider needed to take immediate action. We found the provider had addressed this issue and records were stored appropriately and securely.
A care home is a residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms or hotel-style suites, because they need regular or continuous access to care. Housing-with-care developments run by housing associations and local authorities tend to be called ‘extra care’ or ‘independent living’ schemes, and explicitly seek to accommodate people who need daily help. Generally the whole complex will be designed with attention to accessibility for residents with restricted mobility. A move may provide a whole new lease of life, but a wrong choice can be difficult to undo.
You can see what action we have asked the provider to take on the back page of this report. There was a plan in place to address the issue of staffing with more staff being employed over the coming weeks. Staffing levels were structured to meet the needs of the people who used the service.
