| 2019-11-20 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Aspen Lodge received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because of significant concerns in staff recruitment, risk management, and quality monitoring systems. Whilst staff were caring and people felt safe, unsafe recruitment practices meant the provider could not assure staff suitability, staffing levels were inconsistent, and nutritional risks were not always properly managed despite guidance from health professionals. |
