Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 3 of 7 What we found:
In November 2009 Home Farm was badly flooded and the residents had to be evacuated. They were temporarily housed in a church hall and then in a nearby hotel for a couple of weeks. A suitable house was found in Maryport that could take most residents. One person with mobility difficulties is now at another home run by West House. This Random Inspection was carried out as the home was due to have a full Key Inspection. Instead we have classed the home as a dormant service while repairs are undertaken. The new property 23 Wood Street is currently unergoing registration with us. The organisation, West House, anticipate that repairs will take approximately 3 months, and then residents will return to Home Farm.
