About Lathbury Manor Care Home
Here at Lathbury Manor Care Home, we welcome residents and their families into a place that genuinely feels like home. Situated in Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes, we are proud to be part of the local community and to offer a warm, supportive environment for the people in our care. We support a wide range of needs, including older person care, residential care, dementia care, mental health, physical disability, visual and hearing impairment, younger adults, and respite care. This breadth of experience means that as a resident's needs change over time, we are well placed to adapt and respond in a way that feels seamless and reassuring for everyone involved. We want to be straightforward with the people who come to us. Our most recent CQC inspection resulted in an overall rating of requires improvement, and we take that seriously. We have been working hard to listen, reflect, and make meaningful changes across the home. Our team meets regularly to review how we are doing, and we actively welcome feedback from residents, families, and visitors because we believe that honest conversations lead to better care. Day to day, we focus on what matters most to each individual. That means respecting personal routines, encouraging independence wherever possible, and making sure that people feel heard and valued rather than simply looked after. Our staff know the residents well, and those relationships are at the heart of everything we do. If you are considering Lathbury Manor for yourself or someone you love, we would warmly encourage you to come and visit us. See the home for yourself, meet the team, and ask us anything you like.

What the inspectors found

- 20 March 2023

Safe
Inspectors found that risk assessments had improved, but some environmental risks had not been identified or assessed. These were reduced straight after the inspection. One person had not received their medicine as prescribed. Inspectors saw that staff were not deployed well enough, with people at risk of falls left alone in communal areas, and records of injuries and their possible causes needed to improve.
Well-led
Inspectors found that systems to check how the home was run still needed to be embedded into everyday practice. Audits had improved, but not all concerns were found before the inspection. The provider remained in breach of regulation 17, about management oversight. The management team were described as committed to improving the service, and were open and transparent during the inspection.
What people told the inspectors
Relatives did not always feel there were enough staff on duty. Relatives and people living at the home were involved in care planning.
