Spring Wood Lodge has been registered with Care Quality Commission (CQC) since October 2016 to carry out the following regulated activities:
- Assessment and treatment for persons detained under the Mental Health Act 1983
- Treatment of disease, disorder, or injury
- Diagnostic and screening procedures
CQC last carried out a comprehensive inspection of this service on 9 to 10 November 2021. At that inspection we rated the service as ‘requires improvement’ overall with ratings of ‘requires improvement’ in the safe, effective and well lead key questions, and ‘good’ in the caring and responsive key questions. We issued the provider with 3 requirement notices under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. These related to person-centred care, safe care and treatment and good governance.
Following this assessment, we rated the service as good. The service had made improvements and was no longer in breach of regulations. The service had ensured that a range of psychological therapies was available to all patients. They had also made sure that medical charts matched the appropriate mental health act documentation, patient and clinical areas were clean and well maintained, and appropriate checks and audits of these areas were taking place.
