RMBI Care Co’s Cornwallis Court in Bury St Edmunds has been rated Outstanding by the CQC.

The service became the charity’s fourth home with the CQC’s top rating following an inspection in July.

The CQC said: “People were cared for by a dedicated and compassionate staff team who were valued and appreciated.

“The service had a warm and homely environment, welcoming of people’s friends and relatives, especially during organised events. People were supported by staff, including activities staff who had the skills to meet their individual needs.”

Planning permission is currently in progress to build a new care home on the site of the existing home due to limitations caused by the age of the building.  

The CQC praised the home for consulting residents and their families on plans to improve the service.

Denise O’Brien, home manager at Cornwallis Court, said: “We are thrilled to receive our Outstanding rating from CQC. Our staff are passionate about supporting our residents’ health and wellbeing, and helping them to live to the fullest.”
