Pennine Care Centre

“However, people were involved in their care and supported to work towards achieving their aims and their independence was promoted. There were enough staff to meet people’s needs and medicines practices were in line with good practice guidelines.”

“We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this assessment.”

“This inspection was in response to receiving a number of whistleblowing and safeguarding concerns. Some safeguarding investigations were in progress, and other new incidents identified at the time of our assessment. In addition, one specific incident, previously notified to the Care Quality Commission, whereby a person alleged they were harmed whilst staff assisted them to transfer was subject to a criminal investigation at the time of writing this report. As a result, this inspection did not examine the circumstances of the incident. However, the information CQC received about the incident indicated possible concerns about the management of moving and handling risks. This inspection examined those risks.”
