What inspectors found

Inspected 2021-10-09

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    Jasmine Court was rated Good for safety at the February 2022 inspection. The published summary does not include specific observations about staffing numbers, medicines management, falls prevention, or infection control practices. The registered manager is named as in post, which indicates a level of organisational stability. No concerns or requirement notices relating to safety were recorded. A July 2023 monitoring review found no evidence to reassess the rating.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    Jasmine Court was rated Good for effectiveness at the February 2022 inspection. The home is registered to provide care for people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, both of which require specific training and tailored care planning. The published inspection summary does not describe the content of care plans, how often they are reviewed, what dementia training staff receive, or how the home manages healthcare needs such as GP access and medication. No concerns were raised in this domain.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    Jasmine Court was rated Good for caring at the February 2022 inspection. The published summary does not include inspector observations of staff interactions, descriptions of how residents are addressed, or any resident or relative testimony about the warmth or kindness of staff. No concerns about dignity, privacy, or respect were recorded. The Good rating in this domain is a positive indicator but is not supported by specific observable evidence in the available text.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Good
    Jasmine Court was rated Good for responsiveness at the February 2022 inspection. The home is registered to support people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, both of which require individualised responses to care and daily life. The published inspection text does not describe the activities programme, how individual preferences are recorded and acted on, or how the home responds to complaints. No concerns were raised in this domain.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Good
    Jasmine Court was rated Good for leadership at the February 2022 inspection. A named registered manager and a nominated individual from Amicura Limited are recorded as in post. The July 2023 monitoring review found no evidence to change the Good rating. The published text does not describe the manager's visibility, how staff are supported, how complaints are handled, or what governance systems are in place. No concerns were raised in this domain.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The home supports adults over 65 with dementia and physical disabilities, as well as younger adults needing specialist care. They structure care across different floors to match varying support needs. Families describe how the team helps residents with different types of dementia, including vascular dementia, settle into new routines. Care plans evolve as conditions progress, with residents moving between floors when their needs change. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

72/ 100

DCC Family Score

Jasmine Court received a Good rating across all five domains at its February 2022 inspection, which is a solid baseline, but the published report text contains limited specific observations, quotes, or detail to push scores above the 70-75 range with confidence.

Homes in North West typically score 68–82.

The three-lens summary

Lens 01

What families tell us

Families talk about walking into bright, welcoming spaces where their relatives have genuinely settled. Even residents who struggled with the transition at first seem to find their feet here, with several families describing how their loved ones went from resistance to contentment in a matter of weeks.

Lens 02

What inspectors have recorded

What strikes families most is the staff continuity — many team members have been here for years, getting to know residents as individuals. They're quick to address concerns, help rebuild strained family relationships, and adapt care plans as conditions change.

Lens 03

How it sits against good practice

For families facing tough decisions about dementia care in Chorley, this established team seems to understand both the practical and emotional sides of the journey.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Jasmine Court on Botany Brow in Chorley was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last full inspection in February 2022. A monitoring review carried out in July 2023 found no evidence to change that rating, which means the Good status remains current. The home is a 66-bed residential service registered to care for people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, and adults of varying ages. A registered manager and a nominated individual from the provider organisation, Amicura Limited, are named as in post. The main limitation here is one of evidence depth rather than performance. The published inspection text is a short summary and contains very little specific detail: no inspector observations of day-to-day care, no resident or relative quotes, and no specific findings on staffing numbers, food, activities, or the dementia environment. A Good rating is a genuine positive, but it cannot answer the questions that matter most to you right now. Before making a decision, visit in person. Ask to see last week's actual staffing rota (not the template), find out how many staff are on the dementia unit after 8pm, and ask what one-to-one activity support is available for someone who cannot join a group.
