CQC inspectors rate Leicester care home inadequate

A care home in Leicester has been told it must make urgent improvements after being rated inadequate by inspectors.

 

The Care Quality Commission said Queens Park Care Home, which looks after up to 16 patients with physical disabilities and mental health problems, was visited in May.

 

Inspectors said that while infection control protocols and medicines were well-managed, staff were not given “enough clear guidance” meaning that residents “were not always safe from neglectful care”, adding that “lessons were not learnt when things went wrong.”

 

The report went on to say that “Staff were mostly kind to people and promoted their independence, however the poor safety culture of the service meant it was not always caring.”
