An Anfield care home has been placed in special measures after inspectors felt residents were at risk of harm.
A Care Quality Commission (CQC) report into Abbey Lawns Care Home on Anfield Road found that the safety, leadership and effectiveness of the home were all deemed to be inadequate. Following an inspection in January, officers found that residents were “not always safeguarded from the risk of abuse” and an effective system to record and analyse accidents and incidents in the home was not in place.
Despite this, CQC officials said they were told by people living their that they felt safe. This year’s assessment also found that there were “multiple hazards throughout the home, such as windows without restrictor and trip hazards caused by uneven flooring.” In addition, Abbey Lawns’ management of risk was said to be inadequate, particularly in relation to fire safety.
