| 2023-01-25 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Buckingham Lodge requires improvement because whilst leadership is strong and staff are caring, there are persistent gaps in safe and effective care delivery. Safety concerns include inconsistent staffing visibility, medicine management issues, and inadequate risk documentation. Effectiveness is hampered by task-focused rather than person-centred practice, poor activity engagement, and incomplete care records. |
