| 2021-06-26 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Darenth Grange received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because the provider failed to establish effective quality assurance systems to identify and resolve safety concerns. While staff were caring and people received good personal care, the home had persistent shortfalls in fire safety procedures, recruitment checks, medicines management, and environmental maintenance that weren't caught by internal quality checks. The registered manager made quick improvements once issues were identified, but the systems themselves remained insufficient to prevent problems arising in the first place. |
