A health service watchdog has carried out checks at a Bradford nursing home after concerns over standards were raised.

But the owners of Crossley House, in Thornton Road, say they are confident they will get the all-clear by the inspectors, who are now finalising a report.

Jas Gill, Hadrian Healthcare Group’s managing director, said the Care Quality Commission carried out an unannounced inspection on May 1.

He said the purpose-built £3.5 million home, which opened in 2009 creating 50 jobs, was found to meet all the essential standards of quality and safety.

Mr Gill said: “The report will be published on the CQC website shortly. It says people are happy with the care and support provided. They told the inspectors the home was clean and comfortable, people spoke positively about the staff, that the food was good and that their individual tastes and cultural needs were catered for.

“We aim to provide the best person-centred care and to employ the best care staff. We have just received the Investors in People silver award, demonstrating the ethos of the company.”

He added: “We take any concerns very seriously. The report states we have an effective system in place to regularly assess and monitor the quality of service that people receive.”

A Care Quality Commission spokesman confirmed an inspection had taken place and that a report was at a draft stage.

He said: “It is likely that the report will be made final next week and then published on our website the week after. This report will give full details of our findings and any action taken.”

Three months after the home opened, bosses had to carry out an investigation when worries about care were raised by a resident's family. A resulting report was made by Gateshead-based Hadrian Healthcare, which was later shared with the relevant agencies and was responded to appropriately.

The home specialises in dementia care.
