The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has told Sage Care Homes (Jansondean) Limited that it must make urgent improvements at Jansondean Nursing Home, Beckenham, Kent, or face further enforcement action.
During an unannounced inspection in November, inspectors found that the home, in Oakwood Avenue, was failing to provide care which was safe, effective, caring, responsive to people’s needs or well led. As a result of the inspection, the provider was issued with four warning notices.
Under CQC’s new programme of inspections, all adult social care services are being given a rating to help people choose care. Overall, Jansondean Nursing Home has been rated as Inadequate.
A full report from the inspection has been published on the CQC website: www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-191454293.
The report identifies a number of areas in which improvements were required, including:
- People’s preferences were not always recorded accurately, and care plans were not always updated when people’s needs changed.
- There were not always enough suitably trained staff to meet people’s needs.
- Medicines management was unsafe.
- While a number of improvements requested at previous inspections had been made, a number of problems still had not been resolved.
Sally Warren, CQC’s Deputy Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care in London, said:
“It is unacceptable that people living at Jansondean Nursing Home were not receiving care which was safe, effective, caring, responsive to their needs or well led. We did note, however, that staff interacted well with residents and treated them with dignity and respect.
“We will return in due course to check whether the required improvements have been made – and will take further action if they have not.”
