| 2017-01-24 | Inadequate | new | Unrated→Inadequate | The Brake Manor received an overall Inadequate rating because of serious failures in essential safeguarding and management systems. Medicines were not managed safely with expired drugs still in use and controlled drug records not reconciling with stock. Critical care records were not being maintained properly, meaning staff lacked accurate information to provide safe care, particularly for people at risk of pressure sores and those with deteriorating health. Additionally, the service failed to conduct proper recruitment checks before allowing staff to work with vulnerable people, and the leadership was ineffective with poor governance systems and lack of supervision for staff. |
