Three Valleys Hospital has been registered with the Care Quality Commission since August 2013. It is a registered location of Elysium Healthcare Ltd. The service had a registered manager at the time of our assessment.
The service was last inspected by the Care Quality Commission in January 2024. It was rated as requires improvement overall. The long stay rehabilitation service was rated good overall and the older people’s service was rated as requires improvement. Both services were rated requires improvement in the Safe domain. There were six breaches of regulation in the older people’s service and two breaches of regulation in the rehabilitation service.
This was a very focused assessment and we assessed only one quality statement from the safe key question. The scores for this area have been combined with scores based on the key question ratings from the last inspection. Though the assessment of this quality statement indicated areas of good practice since the last inspection, our overall rating remains the same.
