A care home where medicines were ‘not managed safely’ has been found to be in breach of the Health and Social Care Act and ordered to improve by inspectors. The Pemberton Fold residential facility in Little Hulton was given an overall ‘requires improvement’ rating when the Care Quality Commission (CQC) team visited the home on December 14 and 15 2022.
The home, run by Park Homes (UK) provides personal care for up to 60 people aged 65 and above. At the time of the inspection there were 50 residents.
“People’s medicines were not managed safely,” the CQC report said. “There were gaps in medicines records and staff guidance relating to ‘as required’ medicines was not always in place.
