Trinity Court in Wolverhampton has retained an overall rating of Good following a new assessment by the Care Quality Commission.

The specialist mental health recovery service on Kent Road is run by Kent House (Select) Limited. The latest report was published on 22 September 2026 and records the regulator's findings at the time of its assessment.

Inspectors found that people were supported by enough suitably skilled staff, medicines were managed safely and recruitment checks were completed. The service also worked with occupational therapy and psychology professionals to help people develop their independence and prepare for life beyond the home.

Capacity records needed more detail

The report identified an improvement needed in some mental capacity assessments. Inspectors said the records they reviewed did not always explain in enough detail what support a person required to make a particular decision.

Under the Mental Capacity Act, decisions about a person's capacity must relate to a specific choice at a specific time. The assessment should also record the practical steps taken to help the person understand, retain and weigh the relevant information.

The CQC said the registered manager was aware of the issue and had a plan to improve the records. Inspectors also found that staff sought people's consent, understood the importance of offering choices and followed the correct process when a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards authorisation was required.

Focus on recovery and independence

Trinity Court provides accommodation, personal care and nursing support for people with mental health needs. Its model is centred on rehabilitation, with staff helping residents build everyday skills and work towards greater independence.

The latest assessment found that care was planned around individual goals. Staff worked with external professionals where necessary and people were encouraged to take part in decisions about their support.

Governance systems were described as effective, with checks in place to monitor safety and quality. The report also found positive leadership and a culture in which staff understood their responsibilities.

The Good rating is the same as the one published for the service in June 2019. The two reports were produced several years apart and under different assessment arrangements, so the comparison shows only the rating recorded on each publication date.
