A care home has been rated inadequate after inspectors highlighted a number of failings during a two day visit.
St Patrick’s Care Home on Crow Wood Lane in Widnes looks after up to 40 residents described as "older people" or living with dementia and received visits from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on November 9 and 11. The resulting report was published on Wednesday, December 21.
An inspection report criticised infection controls at St Patrick’s, which it said weren’t “effectively managed”, and included “unclean areas” that were spotted during the two days the CQC was on site. The home was rated “good” in the “caring and effective” categories.
