Inspectors at a Liverpool care home had to ask for soiled toilet brushes to be disposed of while a crucial fire escape was found to be blocked.
Officials from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have deemed Finch Manor Care Home in Dovecot to be inadequate following a visit in November last year. The effectiveness and safety of the home was found to be well below standard while concerns were also raised about the responsiveness of staff to issues.
The Finch Lea Drive facility is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care. At the time of the inspection, 84 residents were in situ. Officials said they visited Finch Manor last year to follow up on specific concerns they had received about the service.
