About The Spinney Care Home
The Spinney is a residential care home in Coventry. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with mental health needs, and we offer respite stays. Our everyday work is the ordinary business of a household run well. Help with washing, dressing and moving about at the person's own pace and as privately as possible. Medication managed properly. Meals cooked here with real choice. Rooms that people make their own with their own furniture and pictures. Company when it is wanted and quiet when it is not. We should be open about where we stand. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We did not dispute the findings. Since then we have strengthened staffing and supervision, tightened how we manage medicines and the records we keep, and had senior staff check the care actually being given rather than the care described on paper. That work continues and we are not going to claim it is finished. We would far rather raise this ourselves and answer questions honestly than leave a family to discover it later, and we are happy to go through the detail with anyone who asks. With dementia we lean on knowing somebody well and keeping the day predictable. Anyone considering the home is welcome to visit, see how things are now, and talk to the people who live here.
