Report published 28 April 2025
“Date of assessment: 04 March 2025. The Cumberland is a residential care home providing the regulated activity of personal care to up to 29 people. The service provides support to older people living with dementia.”
“The provider was previously in breach of the 3 legal regulations in relation to potential risks, as they had not always been assessed, guidance was not always available to staff informing them how to keep people safe, there were not enough staff deployed to meet people’s needs and people’s medicines had not always been appropriately stored or recorded. Care records had not always been reviewed or updated and the checks and audits that were in place had not identified the concerns that were found. Improvements were found at this assessment and the provider was no longer in breach of regulations.”
