If you are considering it, read the Safe section of the report first and ask what has changed since the inspection.
Costs to expect
We estimate St Margarets at £1,400–£1,720 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £73k–£89k.

Inspection findings in brief
- People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests.
- A more effective quality assurance system was in place and improvements had been made to the standard of care and consent records.
- Systems were in place to investigate accidents and incidents, though records and staff practice did not always evidence what was learnt.
- Appropriate processes were mostly in place to prevent the spread of infections, though staff were not screening visitors and surplus decoration and soft furnishings could potentially compromise standards of hygiene.
