BOSSES at a Kidderminster care home are celebrating after watchdogs praised its work following an unannounced inspection.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) gave Brook Court, based on Oldnall Road, an overall ‘good’ rating.

As well as assessing service standards, inspectors spoke to residents and their families during the inspection who gave the thumbs up for care given by members of staff.

Brook Court provides a range of services from residential, nursing and specialist dementia care, to sensitive end of life care.

The home received ‘good’ ratings in all five categories, including safety, effectiveness, level of care, responsiveness and having a well-led service.

Joanne Gill, home manager at Brook Court, said: “We strive to create a welcoming home from home feel at Brook Court, and I’m so pleased our efforts have been recognised by the CQC’s inspectors.

“Everyone here works incredibly hard to support residents with compassionate, person-centred care, and to be rated ‘good’ shows just how committed the team is to making a positive difference to residents’ lives each and every day.

“I’m extremely proud of our team and I would like to say thank you for their hard work and dedication, which I know is also greatly appreciated by residents and their families.”
