A West Molesey care home has been classed as good in all areas by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The Anchor’s Thameside care home, sited in Belham Gardens, West Molesey, provides accommodation for people who require personal or nursing care.

An unexpected recent inspection conducted by the CQC in October revealed the care home to be good in all areas.

Care homes are now classed as either outstanding, good, requiring improvement or inadequate. Inspectors have assessed the care home in five different criteria- how safe and effective their service is, how caring and responsive it is, and how well-led the home is.

Gary Baker, Home Manager at the Anchor’s Thameside said: “We have worked hard to make Thameside a good care home but to be given such praise from the regulator is wonderful. We are proud of the meals which are made from fresh seasonal ingredients and the high levels of training and support our staff receive.

“We welcome such rigorous inspections and clear ratings so older people and their families can see which homes are the best in the country. We’re so pleased to be classed as a good care home - we’ll be celebrating this success.”
