CQC rate Rosebank House 'requires improvement'

Updated: Nov 7, 2023

Rosebank House on Lower Henley Road, Caversham has been rated " requires improvement" in safety and effectiveness.


Rosebank House provides services and care for adults under the age of 65 years old:

  • Treatment of disease, disorder or injury

  • Assessment or medical treatment for persons detained under the Mental Health Act 1983

  • Caring for people whose rights are restricted under the Mental Health Act

  • Mental health conditions

The CQC report states:

"Our rating of this location went down. We rated it as requires improvement because:


• Care plans and risk assessments were generic and not person-centred. This meant not all individual needs were being met.

• Some patients told us they were not involved in their care planning and decisions about their care and treatment.

• Staff did not ensure that medical equipment was suitably maintained, and a record kept of this.

• Blind spot audits were not being carried out as per the ligature risk management policy.

• There was not a full Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT). There was no occupational therapist and no psychologist.

• Staff did not provide meaningful activities suitable for a long-stay rehabilitation service.

• Staff did not ensure that patients received one-to-one time with their named nurse.
