What inspectors found

  • Is this home safe?

    Not yet rated
    The Safe domain was rated Good at the March 2024 inspection. This covers staffing levels, medicines management, infection control, and how the home responds to accidents and incidents. No specific inspector observations, staffing ratios, or examples of incident-learning processes were included in the available published text. The Good rating indicates that inspectors found safety standards to be met, but the absence of published detail means this cannot be independently verified beyond the headline rating.

  • Is the care effective?

    Not yet rated
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the March 2024 inspection. This domain covers training, care planning, healthcare access, and nutrition. The home supports people with dementia and physical disabilities, which requires specific staff competencies and detailed individual care plans. No specific information about training content, GP access arrangements, or food quality was included in the available published text. The rating indicates inspectors considered these areas satisfactory, but no supporting detail was published.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Not yet rated
    The Responsive domain was rated Good at the March 2024 inspection. This covers activities, individual engagement, and how well the home tailors its approach to each person's history, preferences, and needs. The home's specialisms include dementia care, which requires responsive practice to go beyond group activities and include one-to-one engagement for people who cannot participate in group settings. No specific information about the activity programme, individual engagement, or end-of-life planning was included in the available published text.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Not yet rated

The nominated individual is Mrs Rachna Gupta. No specific information about manager tenure, staff culture, how feedback is gathered, or how the home has responded to previous inspection recommendations was included in the available published text. The Good rating indicates inspectors found leadership and governance to be satisfactory.

72/ 100

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Peacemills Care Home at 132 Perry Road, Nottingham, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its most recent assessment in March 2024, with the report published in June 2024. The home supports up to 49 people, including adults living with dementia and physical disabilities, across both over-65 and under-65 age groups. A Good rating across every domain is a solid baseline and represents a positive step forward from a previously mixed picture. The main limitation here is that the published inspection text available for this report contains very little specific observational detail, direct quotes from residents or relatives, or concrete examples of practice in any domain. That means this Family View cannot verify many of the things that matter most to families, including how staff interact with your parent during distress, what the food is actually like, whether the home is genuinely dementia-friendly by design, and how night shifts are staffed. Before committing to a place, visit at a time when you have not pre-announced your arrival, ask the manager to show you last week's actual staffing rota, and spend time in a communal space watching how staff move and speak with the people who live there.

    The Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difficult Day Easier

    The things that make the greatest difference to someone living with dementia are rarely the most obvious ones.
