Inspectors say there are problems with medicine administration as well as missing records
By George TorrA care home where residents were not always given medication as prescribed will remain in special measures after a second "inadequate" rating.
The Old Vicarage in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, was re-visited by the Care Quality Commission in August after failings were found in March.The manager was not available when asked to comment on the inspection.Inspectors said residents "did not always receive their medicines as prescribed". The CQC report detailed how one person was prescribed paracetamol every six hours but on the review of records, it was found there was not always at least six hours between administration.Another resident was also left without a pain patch for four days. While this was reported by a nurse, action "had not been taken" to ensure a thorough investigation was completed.They found "several missing signatures" within records and "inaccurate recordings of medicine stocks".
Inspectors said the home had made some improvements from the previous inspection but remained in breach of regulations relating to safety and governance. A CQC spokesman said: "We will keep the service under review and, if we do not propose to cancel the provider's registration, we will re-inspect within 6 months to check for significant improvements."
