2016-09-08Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementDowns Cottage Care Home received an 'Inadequate' rating for safety due to multiple serious breaches of regulations. People at risk of choking were given inappropriate food, staffing levels were insufficient to meet assessed needs, the premises were not safely maintained (expired gas safety certificate), and infection control risks were not managed promptly. These failures meant people were not protected from identified hazards despite risk assessments being in place.
