A patient barricaded themselves in their room at a Croxteth care home condemned by health inspectors for fear of their own safety.
A Care Quality Commission (CQC) report found that a resident at Stonedale Lodge Care Home took it upon themselves to drag a chair to block their room door because they didn’t feel safe. The patient told inspectors: “I don't feel safe, I feel isolated and vulnerable. Anything could happen to you here and no-one would know."
The CQC has delivered a damning verdict into the Stonedale Crescent location and branded the site to be inadequate in its provision of care. During their visit last month, inspectors said they found one person's room had not been cleaned and was cluttered with used paper towels and the bed linen and chair was soiled with faeces.
