Elderslie Care Home has held on to its licence to look after vulnerable adults after being issued with an improvement notice earlier this year.
Advinia Care Homes Ltd was given a deadline of April 28 to prove its Paisley site was fit for purpose or risk losing its registration and the long-term future of the care home.
It was issued on March 21 after inspectors made an unannounced visit to the home on Fulbar Road and graded the facility as unsatisfactory.
The watchdog stated it was “not confident” that the people who use the service were “consistently receiving acceptable standards of care and support”.
Significant concerns were raised in relation to infection prevention and control while residents had reported not having been offered a bath or shower in weeks.
The crisis saw staff from Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership parachuted into the home to help management bring it up to standard.
The local health authority said it had been in “daily contact” with the home and had boots on the ground.
The Paisley Daily Express has now learned Advinia has met the requirements of the notice and a follow-up inspection report is to be published in the coming weeks.
A spokesperson for the Care Inspectorate said: “We are in the process of carrying out a follow-up inspection of this service and have found evidence of improvement.
“We will report on this fully in due course but can confirm that the improvement notice issued on March 21, 2023 has been complied with.
“The Care Inspectorate and Renfrewshire health and social care partnership will continue to work with the service to ensure the improvements are sustained.
“Everyone in Scotland has the right to good quality, safe care which meets their needs and respects their rights. Anyone with a concern about a service can contact us on 0345 600 9527.”
Amongst the changes required by the improvement notice were better leadership, staff training and knowledge, communication and the overall ability to manage the wellbeing of the people living there.
All of these were, the watchdog said, needed to address the “significant weaknesses which compromised people’s health, welfare and safety”.
A spokesperson for Advinia Care Homes Ltd said the safety and wellbeing of its residents was its “highest priority”.
He said: “We are pleased that the Care Inspectorate has seen significant improvements at the home during their recent monitoring visits.
“While this process is still to be concluded we are confident that our robust action plan will continue to deliver on the changes that were required of the home.”
He added: “We would like to thank our residents, and their families, for their patience and trust during this process, which can be unsettling for some individuals. We recognise this and we look forward to a positive future as their care provider of choice.”
