Inspection history
| Published | Overall | Change | Transition | AI summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-06-21 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Aquarius Lodge received a Requires Improvement rating because, whilst care staff were caring and effective in supporting people, the service had not fully resolved significant safety and governance concerns from a previous inspection. Critical issues included inadequate premises maintenance and cleanliness (persistent odours, broken equipment, outdated electrical checks), incomplete risk assessments that didn't provide clear staff guidance for managing specific health conditions and behaviours, and the provider's failure to notify CQC of a change in legal entity, leaving the service not legally registered. |
