A care home for the elderly was "poorly managed" with residents "at risk of harm", the healthcare watchdog has found.
It found trip and burn hazards in the home, highlighted poor management of medicines and said residents "appeared unkempt". The inspection in March and April was sparked after concerns were raised by Isle of Wight Council and the island's Dementia Outreach Team.Among the problems highlighted by inspectors, equipment to detect falls and how people moved around the home was found not being used properly and call bells were fitted out of people’s reach.
Inspectors described "unprofessional and hurtful behaviour" from staff and said residents "appeared unkempt".
