Ryhope Manor Care Home in Sunderland has been placed under special measures by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an inspection that revealed serious issues with safeguarding, medical record keeping, cleanliness, and resident care.
A care home has been put under special measures after a watchdog found problems with safeguarding, medical records and cleanliness. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) discovered Ryhope Manor Care Home in Sunderland had breached eight regulations, and downgraded it from a good rating to inadequate, as well as issuing it with three warning notices. CQC official Victoria Marsden said people at the home were not receiving the high-quality care they should be able to expect.
The watchdog's inspection took place in September. It said it was prompted following 'serious concerns' reported by 'several sources'. Ms Marsden said the care home, which looks after 30 people, had poor leadership which had not put in place effective safeguarding systems to protect people from abuse.The team also highlighted concerns about how the care home looked after the money which belonged to residents.She also said the home was not always clean or well maintained. 'For example, the taps didn't always work, and staff had to carry warm water to some people's rooms,' she said. The CQC also found the home did not provide enough activities to meet people's social and emotional needs. There were gaps in medicine records which put people at risk of 'not receiving their medication as prescribed', said Ms Marsden. The care home had been put under special measures, which meant it would be closely monitored while improvements were made, the regulator said
