The White House is an independent hospital operated by Brama Care Ltd that provides treatment and care to male and female patients with eating disorders.
The hospital had six bedrooms over three floors. Four bedrooms were en-suite and two bedrooms shared a bathroom. On the third floor, the service had a self-contained flat, which was used for patients preparing for discharge, enabling them to live independently whilst in the safety of a multidisciplinary setting.
The service also had a disabled accessible bedroom on the ground floor. At the time of the inspection, The White House did not admit people detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.
The White House was first registered with the CQC on 13 February 2017. The service was registered to carry out two regulated activities:
- Accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care.
- Treatment of disease, disorder or injury.
The service did not currently have a registered manager in post. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the CQC to manage the service. Registered persons have legal responsibility for ensuring the service meets the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act 2008, and associated regulations.
The director of the service was in the process of registering with the CQC to be the registered manager.
This unannounced inspection was the first inspection of The White House. At the time of inspection there were two patients using the service.
