Allerton Park Care Centre, previously under scrutiny for resident safety and leadership issues, has been upgraded to 'good' following a recent inspection and removed from special measures.
A care home that was placed in special measures due to concerns about resident safety and ineffective leadership has now been rated as 'good'. Following its latest inspection, inspectors have upgraded the home's rating and removed it from special measures. Sheila Grant, CQC deputy director of operations in the north, stated, 'Staff and leaders at Allerton Park Care Centre should be proud of the improvements they have made to raise their standard of care.
' Previously, the inspectorate had identified issues where the home, which accommodates individuals with mental health needs or dementia, posed a risk to residents' well-being. Concerns included the potential for malnutrition, a dilapidated and unclean environment, and a failure to adequately identify, assess, and mitigate risks. However, after inspections conducted in October and November of last year, Ms. Grant reported 'a significant amount of improvements had been made,' resulting in residents receiving a 'much higher quality of care.' She highlighted the home's strong community connections, including a recent visit from a local school that brought flowers for the residents. Additionally, outings were arranged for residents to visit a community center and café, providing opportunities for socialization. Ms. Grant emphasized that staff and leaders effectively collaborated with partner organizations and learned from past experiences to ensure resident safety. While the care home received a positive rating, the adult social care service overall requires improvement
