HC-One Scotland’s Hamewith Lodge home is celebrating its recent Care Inspectorate report which rated it Good in all areas.

The home, which is on the outskirts of Aberdeen, was praised for its “lovely and welcoming atmosphere”, in the report which is based on an unannounced inspection from the social care regulator earlier this month.

The home received 4/6 (‘Good’) in all five evaluation areas, which assessed wellbeing support, leadership, staff team, setting and planning of care and support.

Inspectors commented on the happiness and friendliness of staff at the home, noting that this had a positive impact on people’s welfare.

The home has been under new local management for the past six months, and in that time has worked to meet the areas of improvement identified at the last inspection.

A new hairdresser has recently joined the home team. Residents and relatives commented on the positive wellbeing effects and self-esteem boosts this has brought them.

Elaine Booth, home manager at Hamewith Lodge, said: “As the ‘Kind Care Company’, we always strive to support people to live their best lives in a welcoming and high-quality environment. We are delighted that the hard work of our kind carers has been recognised by the Care Inspectorate at their latest visit, and that we have been rated ‘Good’ across all categories of their report.”
