The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has taken action to cancel the registration of a nursing home provider in Leyland, Lancashire.
CQC’s decision to cancel Barrisle Care Home Limited’s registration means that they can no longer legally operate a care service at Barrisle Care Home in Leyland, Lancashire.
During an unannounced inspection in October 2015 inspectors found that the provider was still failing to ensure people living at the home were safe and properly cared for.
Previous inspections in May 2015 had observed thirteen breaches in regulations and a continued failure by the provider to make the required improvements. The provider was unable to demonstrate compliance with the regulations inspected.
At their latest inspection in October 2015 CQC found continued concerns regarding the homes induction and supervision of staff; people’s right to consent to care and treatment; nutritional support; safety of some areas of the home; record keeping not reflecting people’s needs accurately, and leadership.
A full report detailing the findings of the inspection has been published at www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-125985319.
On 16 November 2015 CQC received confirmation from the provider that they were withdrawing representations against CQC’s Notice of Decision to cancel the company’s registration. As such Barrisle Care Home Limited is no longer registered to operate a home on Greenside Gardens, Leyland, Lancashire.
The home is currently being taken over by a new provider.
Debbie Westhead, Deputy Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care at CQC, said:
“People are entitled to services which provide safe, effective, compassionate and high quality care and Barrisle Care Home Limited has failed the residents of Barrisle Care Home.
“The provider was placing people at significant risk of receiving inappropriate or unsafe care and was unable to address the issues we identified. For this reason we had no option but to cancel their registration.”
