Inspection history
| Published | Overall | Change | Transition | AI summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-07-07 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Ferns Nursing Home received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because although the provider demonstrated rapid improvements during the inspection, significant safety and staffing concerns were identified on day one that breached regulations. The service was not always providing timely care responses, adequate nutrition support, consistent infection control practices, or effective medicines management. Despite swift corrective actions by management on day two, these ongoing breaches meant the overall rating could not be higher. |
