Bayford House Bupa care home awarded 'Good' CQC rating

Bayford House Bupa Care Home in Stockcross, Newbury has been awarded a ‘good’ overall rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an unannounced inspection.

Staff were commended for providing safe and effective care, whilst also praised for being well-led. Residents and relatives were positive about the service and complimentary about staff at the home.

Speaking of the care received, one resident commented: "Staff are very caring, they are very good - they really are. I can't say anything bad about them. They show care when I see them." A relative told us: "Staff are lovely, very caring and respectful. It feels like home."

The report praised staff for continuously assessing and reviewing people’s care with the respective person being involved throughout. Inspectors found that people were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible.

Commissioners also found that staff had a good understanding in how they protected people from harm and recognised different types of abuse and how to report it.

It was also reported that people were encouraged to participate in a range of activities and pursue hobbies of interest as part of Bupa Care Services’ wider health and wellbeing programme.
