A Nottinghamshire assisted living home that cares for people with learning disabilities has been told to make ‘urgent improvements’ after an inspection by heath watchdog the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Richmond Lodge, in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, remains in special measures after the CQC carried out a focused inspection on the site in February 2023.
The care home, in Richmond Road, provides personal care for up to five people with a learning disability, and at the time of the inspection four people were based at the home.
The inspection comes after the care facility, run by Blue Sky Care Limited, was moved from a 'good' rating to 'inadequate' by the Care Quality Commission after an inspection in August last year. At this time, Richmond Lodge was issued with three warning notices around safe care and treatment, person centred care and the need for consent and governance.
