What inspectors found

Inspected 2019-10-23

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    The Safe domain was rated Good at the February 2021 inspection. This represents an improvement from a previous Requires Improvement rating, suggesting the home addressed earlier safety concerns. The published summary does not record specific detail on staffing ratios, falls management, medication processes, or infection control observations. A Good rating in Safe implies inspectors did not find significant ongoing concerns in these areas at the time of the inspection.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the February 2021 inspection. This domain covers care planning, staff training, healthcare access, nutrition, and how well the home meets the needs of people with specific conditions including dementia. The published inspection summary does not include specific observations on care plan quality, GP visit frequency, dementia training content, or food provision. A Good rating indicates inspectors were satisfied with effectiveness at the time, but no supporting detail is available in the published text.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    The Caring domain was rated Good at the February 2021 inspection. This domain covers how staff treat residents: whether they are kind, whether dignity and privacy are respected, and whether residents are supported to be as independent as possible. The published inspection summary does not include direct quotes from residents or relatives, nor specific observations such as staff using preferred names or knocking before entering rooms. A Good rating indicates inspectors were satisfied, but no supporting detail is available.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Good
    The Responsive domain was rated Good at the February 2021 inspection. This domain covers whether the home responds to individual needs: activities, personalised care, complaint handling, and end-of-life planning. The published inspection summary does not describe specific activities, individual engagement approaches, or arrangements for people who cannot participate in group sessions. A Good rating indicates inspectors were satisfied at the time, but no supporting detail is available.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Good
    The Well-led domain was rated Good at the February 2021 inspection, representing an improvement from a previous Requires Improvement rating. A named registered manager, Ms Doreen Ndema, is recorded as in post. The provider is Rushcliffe Care Limited, with Mr Surjit Singh Rai as the nominated individual. The published inspection summary does not include detail on management visibility, staff culture, governance processes, or how the home handles complaints and feedback. The improvement trajectory is the strongest positive signal available from the published record.

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.

74/ 100

DCC Family Score

Beaumanor Nursing Home scored 74 out of 100, reflecting a genuine improvement from a previous Requires Improvement rating to Good across all five domains, though the inspection report provides limited specific detail on individual themes, which limits confidence in several areas.

Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.
DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Beaumanor Nursing Home, on Cartwright Street in Loughborough, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last published inspection in February 2021, with that rating confirmed as still current following a desk-based review in July 2023. The home improved from a previous Requires Improvement rating, which is a meaningful positive signal: something changed, leadership acted, and inspectors agreed the home had turned a corner. The registered specialism includes dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment, making it one of the more complex nursing homes to run well. A named registered manager, Ms Doreen Ndema, is in post, alongside a nominated individual, Mr Surjit Singh Rai, from the provider Rushcliffe Care Limited. The main limitation of this report is that the published inspection text contains very little specific detail. No direct quotes from residents or relatives were recorded in the available summary, no staffing ratios are given, and no specific observations about daily life are described. The Good rating tells you the home passed; it does not tell you what living there actually feels like for your parent. When you visit, focus your questions on the things the inspection did not cover: how many permanent staff are on duty overnight, what one-to-one activity is available for someone who cannot join a group, and how the team would contact you if your parent's condition changed. The improvement trend is encouraging, but verify what has changed in practice.
