“The inspection was prompted in part by notification of an incident following which a person using the service died. This incident is subject to a criminal investigation and as a result this inspection did not examine the circumstances of the incident. However, the information shared with CQC about the incident indicated potential concerns about the management of risk of falls. This inspection examined those risks.”
“Since our last inspection we found that the improvements made had not been maintained. During this assessment we found the service is now in breach of two breaches of the regulations. These related to the safe management of medicines, care planning and governance of the service to drive improvements.”
