During a routine inspection
The Manager was being supported by an external consultancy but we found that medicines continued to be administered incorrectly and this could place people who use the service at risk. We were also concerned about the care for people who had diabetes and pressure area care in that their care records and information did not reflect how their needs should be being met.
It is of serious concern that the provision of care and welfare had not improved enough since our previous inspections.
The trustees of the service informed us of their decision to close the service by 20 December 2013 and to cancel their registration with us. Despite this the risks to people's health and welfare were still evident to us and it was not clear how the service would keep people safe for the remaining weeks.
Since our inspection we have been advised that all people living at the service have been moved to other services in and around the local area. We have referred our concerns to professional bodies and commissioners of care.
