This was a targeted inspection to check the providers progress because they had informed us they had made improvements and were planning to provide care to people in the future. We needed to assure ourselves enough improvement had been made so the service could meet the needs of people when admitted.

Inspection team

This inspection was carried out by one inspector.

Service and service type

Woodside Care Home is a 'care home'. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection.

Notice of inspection

This inspection was unannounced.

What we did before the inspection

The provider was not asked to complete a provider information return prior to this inspection. This is information we require providers to send us to give some key information about the service, what the service does well and improvements they plan to make. We took this into account when we inspected the service and made the judgements in this report.

During the inspection

We spoke with the provider and a consultancy organisation the provider had commissioned to develop and improve the service. We did not speak with people or look at care records as there were no people

using the service when we inspected.

After the inspection

We reviewed policies and procedures and an action plan the consultancy organisation sent to us on behalf of the provider.
