Inspection history
| Published | Overall | Change | Transition | AI summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-10-28 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | The Firs Care Home received a 'Requires Improvement' rating due to critical failures in medicines management, risk assessment, care planning, and leadership oversight. Whilst staff demonstrated caring attitudes and people felt safe, the home failed to maintain adequate records, implement robust safety systems, and provide person-centred care. The registered manager took immediate remedial action during the inspection, but systemic governance failures meant effective monitoring systems were not in place beforehand. |
