A care home for older people has been ordered to improve after inspectors found it was STILL failing to 'safely manage' medicines. Hillbrook Grange, in Bramhall, Stockport was taken out of special measures in July last year after addressing ‘multiple breaches of regulation’ - identified by the Care Quality Commission in late 2020.
But inspectors found there were still ‘shortfalls’ in the safe management of medicines at the Ack Lane East home when they returned in July this year, again rating it as ‘requires improvement’. The home, which cares for up to 41 people aged over 65, has been told it has more to do in in order to secure a ‘good’ rating.
Bosses at the home say they are currently challenging the outcome of the inspection. However, a new report finds that ‘while the service had made ‘some improvements and addressed some issues’ from the last inspection, ‘medicines were not always handled safely’.
