Care home in Haringey closes

36 Roseberry Gardens, a care home in Haringey, North London has closed after falling short of the essential standards of quality and safety.

During two unannounced inspections last year, our inspectors found that the home was failing to meet 11 of the essential standards that people are legally entitled to expect.

Key findings

During the inspections, we witnessed:

• one of the providers loudly reprimanding a person living at the home for assisting us with our inspection.
• poor standards of cleanliness.
• a lack of safety precautions around potential fire risks.

We conducted two visits at 36 Roseberry Gardens in January and July 2011. Since then we have worked closely with the local authority to protect the safety and wellbeing of the residents. As a result, the providers running the home are no longer authorised to offer services at this location.
