| 2019-12-20 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Walnut Close received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because the service failed to maintain adequate standards in key areas of safety, effectiveness, and responsiveness. Although staff were caring and supportive, the home had significant issues with call bell response times, unsafe medicine storage, poor premises condition, inadequate mental capacity assessments, and insufficient activities for residents, with governance systems failing to identify these shortfalls. |
