Worksop care home bounces back from 'inadequate' rating after struggling during Covid

A Nottinghamshire care home has bounced back to a 'good' rating after it was put in special measures in the midst of Covid. Greenacres Grange in Worksop said staff had been brought "closer together" after a "massive struggle" during the pandemic.

The home, which provides care for 28 residents, received a 'good' rating across the board following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on January 26. It marks a significant improvement on its previous rating of 'inadequate' in April 2021, which resulted in the service receiving two warning notices.

In the most recent report published on March 8, staff told inspectors that morale had since improved. Quoting a staff member, the report says: "Staff morale has been a massive struggle, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. But I do believe the difficulties have brought us closer together as a team. Our staff team now has such a passion to try and be better and offer the best care we possibly can."
