| 2020-02-06 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | The Larkins received a Requires Improvement rating because of safety concerns around water temperature management and governance failures to address identified risks, combined with leadership inconsistencies including the absence of a registered manager for five months. While care practices, staff recruitment, medication management, and the overall culture were positive, the provider's quality assurance system failed to take action on known safety risks. |
