2022-07-30Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementThe Village Nursing Home received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because of significant safety, effectiveness, and leadership concerns that placed people at risk of avoidable harm. Critical issues included inaccurate medication records for time-sensitive medicines, inadequate risk management systems with missing documentation, expired Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards authorisations that were not renewed timely, and dignity concerns including inappropriate practices like wearing pyjamas throughout the day. While the new manager has begun implementing improvements, the previous governance systems failed to identify these shortfalls.
