Our current view of the service

Inadequate

Updated 13 August 2025

Manordene provides nursing care and support for up to 22 older people, some of whom may be living with dementia. Some people also have physical disabilities. We completed this assessment on 26 August 2025. We found 9 breaches of the legal regulations in relation to safeguarding people from abuse, safe care and treatment including the management of medicines, staffing levels, including training and competency of staff and poor recruitment practices. The breaches also relate to the lack of person-centred care, people not being treated with dignity and respect, consent not always being sought, unlawful restrictions being placed on people, people’s complaints not being investigated and responded to and poor governance.

This service is being placed in special measures. The purpose of special measures is to ensure that services providing inadequate care make significant improvements. Special measures provide a framework within which we use our enforcement powers in response to inadequate care and provide a timeframe within which providers must improve the quality of the care they provide. In instances where CQC have decided to take civil or criminal enforcement action against a provider, we will publish this information on our website after any representations and/ or appeals have been concluded.

People's experience of the service

Updated 13 August 2025

Whilst there was some positive feedback from people and relatives about the caring nature of staff, we found people were not being protected from abuse and neglect. Risks associated with people’s care were not being undertaken in a safe way including around the management of falls, dehydration, malnutrition and oral health. People’s consent was not being obtained before restrictions were being placed on them. People’s care was institutionalised, and choices were not always being given around their care.
