What inspectors found

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the January 2023 inspection. This covers training, care planning, healthcare access, and nutrition. A Good rating suggests these areas meet the expected standard, and the home's specialism in dementia indicates that dementia-specific knowledge should be part of how staff work. The published text does not include specific observations, quotes, or examples that would allow a more detailed assessment. Families should ask for specifics when they visit.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the January 2023 inspection. This covers how staff treat the people who live at the home, including warmth, dignity, respect, and support for independence. A Good rating in this area is one of the strongest indicators of day-to-day quality of life for your parent. The published text does not include direct observations or resident and family testimony, so the specific evidence behind this rating is not available in the published report.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the January 2023 inspection. This covers whether the home tailors care to individual needs, provides meaningful activities, supports independence, and handles complaints well. For a home specialising in dementia, responsiveness to individual preferences and the availability of one-to-one engagement for people who cannot join group activities are particularly important. The published text does not include specific activity examples, resident testimony, or complaint handling evidence.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good at the January 2023 inspection. The home has a named registered manager and a nominated individual identified in the registration record. A Good rating for Well-led suggests that governance, staff culture, and accountability structures are in order. The fact that the overall rating improved from Requires Improvement to Good between inspections is itself a signal of active leadership. The published text does not include staff testimony, manager observations, or specific governance examples.

Worth a visit
Fourways Residential Home, at 45 Scotland Hill in Sandhurst, was rated Good overall at its most recent inspection in January 2023. That overall Good rating represents an improvement from a previous Requires Improvement rating, which is a meaningful positive signal. Four of the five inspection domains, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led, were all rated Good, suggesting the home has made genuine progress in how it trains staff, treats the people who live there, responds to individual needs, and manages itself day to day. The one area that families must investigate carefully is the Safe domain, which was still rated Requires Improvement at this inspection. The published report does not include enough detail for families to understand exactly what the concern was, whether it has since been addressed, or what is being done about it. Before you visit or make a decision, ask the manager directly what the specific safety concerns were, what action has been taken since January 2023, and what the current night staffing numbers are for the 20 residents. Because the published findings are limited in detail across all domains, much of what you need to know, including how staff interact with your parent day to day, what the home looks and feels like, and whether it genuinely suits someone living with dementia, will only become clear when you visit in person.
