About Baytrees Nursing Home
Here at Baytrees Nursing Home in Worthing, West Sussex, we provide nursing care for older people, younger adults and individuals living with physical disabilities. We also offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether that is to recover after a hospital admission or to give family carers a much needed break. We know that choosing a nursing home is one of the most significant decisions a person and their family will ever make. It is not something anyone takes lightly, and we do not take it lightly either. Our aim is to make sure that every person who comes through our doors feels genuinely seen and heard, not just looked after in a clinical sense, but cared for as an individual with their own history, preferences and personality. Our nursing team works closely with residents, families and visiting healthcare professionals to make sure that care plans reflect what actually matters to each person. We believe good nursing care goes hand in hand with warmth, respect and honest communication, and we work hard to maintain that in everything we do. We are aware that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in an overall rating of requires improvement. We want to be straightforward about that rather than brush over it. We have taken the findings seriously, put clear steps in place to address the areas raised, and we continue to work on improving the experience we provide. We would always encourage anyone considering a placement with us to come and visit, ask questions and see the home for themselves. Baytrees is part of the Worthing community, and we are committed to being a place where people feel at home, where families feel welcome and where the standard of care keeps getting better.

Safe
Inspectors found that some medicines had not been disposed of as required. Some had their prescription labels removed and were kept in stock, and some were out of their packaging, so it was not clear who they had been prescribed for. This put people at risk of receiving medicines that had not been prescribed for them, and CQC found a breach relating to the disposal and storage of some medicines. Inspectors also found the home was clean and well-maintained, people felt safe, and there were enough trained staff.
Well-led
Inspectors found that the systems for monitoring and measuring the service had not identified the issues found at this inspection. CQC said the provider needs to make improvements in this area.
What people told the inspectors
