2015-04-28InadequatenewUnratedInadequateWexford House received an Inadequate rating because, despite some improvements following a previous inspection, the home continued to fail in critical areas of safety and responsiveness. Specifically, medicines were not managed safely, care plans lacked up-to-date information putting people at risk, staff recruitment checks were incomplete, and people's changing health needs were not always identified or acted upon. Whilst family feedback was positive and some improvements were evident, systemic failings remained that put vulnerable residents with dementia at risk of harm.
