Staff at a new care home that opened in the middle of the first wave of the pandemic are celebrating, after Government inspectors named it as one of the best in the country. The Badminton Place care home, at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol, received an ‘outstanding’ rating in its first Care Quality Commission inspection - putting it in the top 3.5 per cent of care homes in Britain.
The care home is run by the Berkeley Care Group, who describe it as a ‘luxury accommodation’, and the new home comes complete with a hair salon, gym and cinema, as well as ‘fine dining’ for residents. Already the care home has hit the headlines before - last summer residents were treated to a show in the home staged by a group of drag queens.
Badminton Place opened in August 2020, at a time when care homes were at the forefront of the battle to stop the coronavirus pandemic. Since then, staff and residents have gradually been able to take advantage of all the care home has to offer, while staff work with a mix of residential care, nursing care, dementia care and respite care needs.
