About this home
Blair House Care Home is a CQC-registered nursing home in Southport, run by Blair House Care Home Limited. Its CQC registration covers adults under 65, including people living with mental health conditions.
At its most recent rating, CQC judged it Good overall (February 2020), with Responsive rated Outstanding. It is one of 70 CQC-registered care homes in and around Southport; 52 of those are rated Good or Outstanding.
Track record
CQC registration dates from December 2012, so the service has been operating for around 13 years under its current registration.
CQC has published 5 overall ratings for it (2015–2022), starting at Requires improvement; it has gone up 2 and down 1 time, and is now Inspected but not rated.
It has gone 6 years without a new overall rating. CQC schedules inspections by risk, so this is not a bad sign in itself, though leadership may have moved on.
The CQC website holds 6 reports for it, the latest from 25 January 2022.
The ratings in context
For Blair House Care Home, Responsive is rated Outstanding; 4 other areas are Good.
Across Sefton, 9 of 107 rated care homes are Outstanding for Responsive (8%).
Outstanding ratings for a single area are uncommon; the Responsive section of the report gives examples of what inspectors saw.
Costs to expect
We estimate Blair House Care Home at £1,360–£1,670 a week for nursing care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £71k–£87k.
NHS-funded nursing care covers part of the nursing cost for eligible residents and is paid directly to the home.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Sefton Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
Key points from CQC's visit
- We identified prior to the inspection that no people living in the service had tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
- There had been some service users positively previously and one member of staff had recently tested positive as a result the service had made the decision no new admissions would be undertaken until advice from local infection prevent control team had agreed.
- People were supported to understand and comply with visiting and social restrictions in line with all best practice guidance and this was communicated and updated as needed.
- The service supported people to follow social distancing, isolating and hygiene practices as much as possible.
