A care home has been put into special measures after staff prevented people from leaving. Users were deprived of going outside when they wanted, a report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has found.
The home, rated 'inadequate', provides personal care for up to 46 people, including elderly individuals, people living with dementia, and people with mental health needs. At the time of the inspection, there were 45 people using the service.
The inspectors said they had seen "widespread and significant shortfalls" in the care home and stated "staff did not always demonstrate a clear awareness of their role to provide person-centred care". Cherry Lodge, a Birmingham care home run by Care First Class (UK) Limited, was inspected last November, but the report was published last Friday, reports BirminghamLive.
