CQC ‘GOOD’ RATING FOR CLIFDEN HOUSE (SEAFORD)

July 3, 2017

We have received a ‘good’ rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), following an unannounced inspection in May this year.

We are delighted to have received this grade from the CQC. It is a real endorsement of the efforts of the entire team at Clifden House to ensure that our residents our happy, engaged and well cared for.

Inspectors found the service provided by Clifden House in Claremont Road to be safe, effective, caring and responsive.

The CQC assessors praised our staff, saying they are “kind and caring and have developed good relationships with people. They support people to enable them to remain as independent as possible.”

In particular, assessors also commended the wide range of activities available, saying: “External entertainers were provided on both days of our inspection with music to suit a range of tastes and interests.

“For those who liked a quieter life, Clifden House’s gardens offered a secure and safe environment to take a stroll. The home keeps hens and those who choose to, can assist in their upkeep.”

The CQC feedback is invaluable and we are currently working to secure our ‘outstanding’ grade for next time.
