| 2017-02-10 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Bankhouse Care Home was rated Requires Improvement because significant medication management issues persist despite previous warnings, quality assurance systems do not reliably identify safety concerns, and responsive practice has not yet demonstrated consistent good performance over time. Although the home has made improvements to care planning, documentation, and staffing, ongoing failures in medicines management—including missing doses, unsafe crushing of tablets, and improper cream storage—mean the service is not yet meeting legal safety requirements. |
