| 2019-05-30 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | The Briars was rated 'Requires Improvement' due to significant safeguarding and governance failings, despite strengths in care quality and staff kindness. The service failed to notify CQC of a change in legal ownership and did not conduct adequate pre-employment checks on care staff, creating risks to resident safety. Additionally, environmental safety issues such as dangerously hot shower water posed a scalding risk. |
