Inspection history

PublishedOverallChangeTransitionAI summary
2024-03-06Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementWestwood Residential Care Home received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because critical safety systems were not robust enough to protect residents. Fire safety procedures were inadequate with insufficient trained staff and inconsistent drills, environmental hazards posed risks of falls and entrapment, and medication storage and recording had gaps. Additionally, staff training lacked mandatory subjects and was infrequent, governance processes failed to identify these safety concerns, and care records contained inaccurate information that could mislead staff.
