Inspection history

PublishedOverallChangeTransitionAI summary
2016-02-12Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementPalm Court Nursing Home received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because although staffing levels had been increased since the previous inspection and essential care needs were being met, staff continued to work under pressure—particularly in afternoons—with insufficient time to fully meet all care needs, including personal attention and hygiene. Additionally, records for prescribed topical cream applications were not consistently completed, creating a risk that people might not receive their medication as prescribed.
