AN award winning care home in the heart of Northampton is among to top one per cent of care homes in the UK.
Burlington Court, which is managed by Rochmills Group, providers of health care for the elderly, have announced that it has achieved an ‘outstanding’ Care Quality Commission (CQC) report after an inspection that was carried out earlier in 2017.
“We are over the moon with the recent findings of CQC which is great news for our residents, great news for their families and great news for our staff,” said Tej Sehmi, the Responsible Individual for Rochmills Group. “I am so proud of our team who work tirelessly and am very pleased that this has been recognised. We aim to provide the best care possible and will always continue to look to improve where we can”
Burlington Court on Roseholme Road, just outside of Northampton town centre, has been rated as Outstanding in three categories out of five in the report. The home was awarded Outstanding in the categories: Caring, Responsive and Well-led.
This achievement builds on the previous inspection in November 2015 where an overall ‘outstanding’ was awarded with two categories attaining outstanding on that inspection.
The report contains many encouraging comments and positive remarks from residents and their relatives, who were interviewed by CQC inspectors and which includes: “People living at Burlington Court had an enhanced sense of well-being and quality of life because staff worked passionately to provide people with meaningful experiences” and “Staff were empowered to work creatively to develop positive therapeutic relationships with people”
Burlington Court, registered for 102 beds, now ranks amongst the top one percent of establishments in the Country. It was commented that the hardest objective after the November 2015 inspection was to retain the ‘Outstanding’ rating.
The inspection took place in February 2017 and was unannounced.
The inspectors carefully checked necessary documentation and were in attendance for two days. They spent their time carrying out observations and speaking with staff, residents and relatives.
