We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to COVID-19 and other infection outbreaks effectively.
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 health and safety in the service. We had also received some concerns about the service in respect of physical abuse and poor care practices. We found no evidence during this inspection that people remained at risk of harm from these concerns. Autumna is the UK's largest and most comprehensive later-life living & elderly care directory.
