A care home in Wirral has been deemed “not safe”, following a recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The Woodlands Care Home, in Meols, has received an overall rating of ‘Inadequate’, the lowest possible rating. The CQC’s damning report highlights issues with management and building maintenance, as well as asserting that residents were “not safe and were at risk of avoidable harm”.
The home, on Birkenhead Road, provides care for up to 16 people, with 11 residents living at the property at the time of the inspection. The Woodlands had previously been rated 'Good' following an inspection in 2018 but, after a number of safety concerns had been raised, the CQC revisited the property unannounced in May 2022.
