Section 02

What inspectors found

Inspected 2019-09-04

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    Safe was rated Good at the July 2019 inspection, representing an improvement from the previous Requires Improvement rating. This domain covers how the home protects residents from harm, manages medicines, controls infection, and ensures enough staff are on duty. The published summary does not include specific staffing ratios, falls data, or detailed medicines findings. A Good rating here indicates inspectors were satisfied with the overall safety picture, but the level of detail available is limited.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    Effective was rated Good at the July 2019 inspection. This domain covers whether staff have the right training, whether care plans reflect each person's individual needs and are kept up to date, and whether the home manages health needs well including medication and access to GPs. The home lists dementia as a specialism, which means inspectors would have considered whether dementia-specific training and care approaches are in place. No specific training records, care plan examples, or healthcare access details are described in the published summary.

  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    Caring was rated Good at the July 2019 inspection. This domain covers whether staff treat residents with warmth, dignity, and genuine respect, whether privacy is maintained, and whether residents are supported to remain as independent as possible. The published summary does not include specific inspector observations of staff interactions, resident feedback, or examples of dignity in practice. A Good rating indicates inspectors were broadly satisfied, but the evidence available is general rather than specific.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Requires improvement
    Responsive was rated Requires Improvement at the July 2019 inspection. This is the only domain not rated Good. Responsive covers whether the home tailors its approach to each person as an individual, whether activities are meaningful and accessible, and whether the home responds to complaints and end-of-life needs appropriately. The published summary does not detail what specific shortfalls were identified. This rating was not upgraded to Good, which means it remained a concern at the time the report was published.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Good
    Well-led was rated Good at the July 2019 inspection, having previously been rated Requires Improvement. The home is run by HC-One Limited, with Miss Deborah Whittle as the registered manager and Ms Anna Gretchen Selby as the nominated individual. A Good Well-led rating indicates inspectors were satisfied that the management structure, governance systems, and organisational culture were sound. The published summary does not include specific detail about how staff are supported, how the home handles complaints, or how management visibility was assessed.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Lyndon Hall Nursing Home, on Malvern Close in West Bromwich, was rated Good overall at its last inspection in July 2019, an improvement on its previous Requires Improvement rating. Four of the five inspection domains (Safe, Effective, Caring, and Well-led) were rated Good, which means inspectors were broadly satisfied with how the home keeps people safe, delivers care, treats residents with kindness, and is managed. The home provides nursing care for up to 80 people, including those living with dementia, and has a named registered manager in post. The one area that stands out is Responsive, which was rated Requires Improvement. This domain covers whether your parent will have a meaningful life at the home, including activities, individual engagement, and whether the home adapts its approach to each person's changing needs. That rating was not resolved to Good by the last inspection, so it is the first thing to press on when you visit. Ask to see the current activity timetable, find out what happens for residents who cannot join group sessions, and ask how staff support someone with advanced dementia to stay engaged. The inspection findings available are limited in detail, so several important questions (night staffing levels, agency staff use, food quality, and family communication) will need to be answered by the home directly.
