| 2022-04-14 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | The Ferns received a 'Requires Improvement' overall rating because systems failed to ensure people's consent to care was properly documented through Mental Capacity assessments and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards applications, and leadership oversight was insufficient to identify these gaps. While the home maintained good safety standards, effective infection control, and strong staff recruitment practices, deficiencies in governance, staff supervision, and understanding of mental capacity legislation represented a breach of regulations. |
