People in a South Liverpool care home were at risk of malnutrition and dehydration while medications were not handled correctly, a care report has found.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has placed Cressington Court Care Home on Beechwood Road into special measures after a litany of concerns were raised around medicine, staffing and clinical care. These included one person not being bathed for four weeks as staff said “they didn’t have time” and another losing more than six stone in a six-month period.
Following an inspection in March and April the home’s overall rating has been deemed inadequate. The safety, effectiveness, care and leadership of the service has also been called inadequate having already required improvement.
