| 2023-03-04 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Highfield received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because governance and safety systems were ineffective, with out-of-date risk assessments and care plans failing to reflect people's current health needs. The lack of consistent management and poor record-keeping created risks for vulnerable residents, particularly those with specific health conditions like epilepsy and diabetes who had not received appropriate staff training. |
