Care home for elderly where medicines 'not always managed safely' in special measures
A care home rated 'inadequate' last year after officials uncovered a catalogue of failings will remain in special measures. Lyndhurst Residential Care Home, in Middleton, could be shut down if it fails to make ‘significant improvements’ within the next six months, a new inspection report from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) says.The home - run by Atlantis Medicare Limited - was put in special measures last August after inspectors found elderly residents were left waiting for help, not showered regularly and had their medicines ‘mixed up'. When officials returned in February this year, they found some progress had been made - staffing levels and infection control practices had improved while people ‘felt safe’ and ‘were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives’.However, the home - which provides accommodation and personal care for up to 42 people, including those living with dementia - was still in breach of a number of care regulations. These included those related to medicines management, risk management and the requirement to send appropriate notifications to the CQC.READ MORE: Join the FREE Manchester Evening News WhatsApp community

Elderly residents had medicines ‘mixed up’ and were left waiting for help at care home
A care home has been placed in special measures after inspectors found elderly residents were left waiting for help, were not showered regularly and had their medicines ‘mixed up’. Lyndhurst Residential Care Home, in Middleton, has been downrated to ‘inadequate’ and hit with a warning notice following a five-day visit by the Care Quality Commission. The watchdog ordered the Manchester Old Road home to improve in 2019, but when inspectors returned in August this year, they found standards had deteriorated and it was in breach of several care regulations. The home, run by Atlantis Medicare Limited, has appointed a new manager and says it has now ‘greatly improved the service’ and this will be reflected in the next inspection.
