| 2016-04-08 | Inadequate | new | Unrated→Inadequate | Meadowbank Care Home received an Inadequate rating due to serious and widespread failures in safety, leadership, and person-centred care. The home had unsafe medicines administration practices, significant premises disrepair affecting residents' hygiene and dignity, poor infection control measures, and a task-focused rather than person-centred care culture. Without a registered manager in place and with ineffective oversight systems, the home failed to maintain safe standards or respond to residents' individual needs. |
