2018-12-12Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementThe Boltons received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because the registered manager failed to ensure safe care and treatment in several key areas, including inadequate medicine management, insufficient documentation of safety incidents and their follow-up, and gaps in quality assurance systems that prevented identification of problems. While the service demonstrated good caring practices and effective care delivery overall, shortcomings in safety and leadership meant the home could not be rated Good.
