The Effective domain was rated Good at the August 2019 inspection.

Worth a visit
East Park Court Residential Care Home, on Holloway Street in Wolverhampton, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last inspection in August 2019, with the report published in October 2019. The home is run by Sanctuary Care Limited, has a registered manager in post, and is registered to care for 44 people including those living with dementia and learning disabilities. A monitoring review carried out in July 2023 found no evidence requiring a reassessment of the Good rating, which has remained stable. The main uncertainty here is age: the last full inspection took place in August 2019, which means the detailed findings are now over five years old. A lot can change in a home over that period, including management, staffing, and the profile of people being cared for. The published summary contains very limited specific evidence, so you cannot rely on the inspection text alone to judge day-to-day quality. When you visit, ask to see recent staffing rotas, speak to the registered manager about what has changed since 2019, and spend time in communal areas observing how staff interact with the people living there.
