Our current view of the service

Inadequate

Updated 24 November 2025

Date of assessment: 20 November 2025 to 5 December 2025.

Winsford Grange is a care home providing personal and nursing care for up to 60 people. At the time of our assessment there were currently 28 people residing there.

This focused assessment was carried out to follow up on previously identified concerns, and therefore, not all quality statements were reviewed. We assessed 7 quality statements: 5 under the ‘Safe’ key question, 1 under ‘Effective,’ and 1 under ‘Well-led.’

The provider remains in breach of the legal regulations relating to consent, safe care and treatment, safeguarding, good governance and staffing under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

Enforcement action is already in place, so no further action will be taken at this time.

We found systems for recording and investigating accidents and incidents were not robust, and there were limited investigations into unexplained injuries, such as skin tears and bruising.

People were not always repositioned according to their assessed needs, increasing the risk of pressure injuries.

Some care plans and risk assessments contained contradictory information, and essential equipment, such as sensor mats for fall prevention, were not always working.

Medicines were not consistently managed or administered safely.

However, staff spoke positively about the support they received from the registered manager and described them as approachable.

People's experience of the service

Updated 24 November 2025

There was mixed feedback from people about the service. One person told us they were happy with the support they received, while another said they were unhappy with it. Some people were unable to share their experiences verbally, so we relied on observations to understand their experiences.

We observed positive interactions between people and staff members. Staff appeared to know people well, and people looked cared for. However, we observed some individuals sitting in communal areas for long periods without engagement. Televisions and radios played at the same time, which made it difficult to focus on either. Staff did not discuss preferences with people about what they wanted to watch or listen to and made these decisions on their behalf.

One relative told us they were happy with the support their loved one received and felt the home had made many improvements.
