A care home criticised by inspectors last year has improved and been removed from special measures.
A care home criticised last year after inspectors found a "dirty kitchen" and a "fly infestation" has improved, a report says.
The Care Quality Commission said the The Firs Residential Care Home in Tower Road, Little Downham, Cambridgeshire, was "no longer in breach of regulations". Inspectors upgraded an overall rating from "inadequate" to "good" and confirmed the home had been "removed from special measures".The home, run by Barrels UK Care Ltd and catering for older and younger adults and people with dementia and physical disabilities, was criticised in a report in December last year.
Inspectors noted, after an inspection in September 2023, poor infection control practices, poor record-keeping for accidents and inadequate staffing levels and said people were not given dignified care.“It was encouraging to see improvements were made in response to concerns we raised," said Stuart Dunn, CQC deputy director of operations in the east of England.“The home has made significant progress in managing risks and safeguarding people.
