Longroyds and Pilling House Care Home

This rating is from February 2023. That is more than 2 years ago. A service can change a lot in that time, for better or worse. CQC decides when to inspect again.

What CQC looks at

• Safe: Requires improvement

  CQC checks whether people are protected from abuse and avoidable harm. It looks at safeguarding, how risks are managed, staffing levels and training, medicines, and keeping the place clean to stop infections.

  Questions you could ask

  • How are medicines looked after and given on time?
  • How do you decide how many staff are on duty, day and night?
  • When something goes wrong, what do you do, and how do you tell families?
• Well-led: Requires improvement

  CQC checks how well the service is run. It looks at the managers and leaders, the culture, how the service checks and improves its own quality, and whether staff feel able to speak up.

  Questions you could ask

  • Who is the registered manager, and how can families contact them?
  • How do you check the quality of care yourselves?
  • How can staff raise worries, and how are they supported when they do?

Questions you could ask

• What has changed since the last inspection?

How often CQC looks again

There is no fixed timetable. CQC decides when to look at a service again. It uses the information it holds about the service and how much risk it sees. It may look sooner if it hears of concerns.
