A SUMMERTOWN care home has been praised by the health watchdog for its 'caring' staff and for 'treating people as individuals'.

Inspectors from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) visited Green Gates Care Home last month.

A report, which rated the Hernes Road care home as 'good' for every category, stated: "The Staff knew people well which enabled them to respond to people's needs and wishes at a personal level.

"People were treated as individuals and the service provided activities and experiences that met their individual needs. This enhanced their well-being and improved their quality of life."

The CQC report, which was published last week, went on to add: "People told us staff were caring and kind.

"Staff's commitment and knowledge enabled people to receive care from staff who knew them well."

At the time of inspection the service was providing care to 31 people aged 65 and over, some of whom had dementia.
