2019-12-03Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementRidgemoor received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because it had significant safety and governance failings that had deteriorated from the previous 'Good' rating. Critical issues included fire safety breaches (blocked exits, gaps in fire checks, inadequate emergency equipment), poor infection control practices, and a failure by management to identify these risks through quality audits. Additionally, some staff were not treating people with proper dignity and respect, and systems to gather service feedback were ineffective.
