Inspectors have found that parts of a care home in a town bordering Nottinghamshire are in a state of disrepair. Care Quality Commission (CQC) officials rated Ashford Lodge Nursing Home, situated in Gregory Street, Ilkeston, as inadequate in a re-inspection report published last month.
The health watchdog visited the premises on July 7, five months after rating the home inadequate following a previous inspection. Inspectors found that resident safety risks were not always assessed or mitigated, placing them at risk of harm.
"One person had suffered three unwitnessed falls in quick succession," reads the report. "There was no review of the accidents or updated assessment to guide staff how to protect the person from the same thing happening again. Shortly after, the person suffered another fall and sustained a serious injury."
