URGENT improvements need to be made at a Cheltenham care home run by Bromford Group as it is failing to protect its residents:
The Care Quality Commission has ordered the owners of Royal Court in Fiddlers Green, Bromford Housing Group, to make immediate changes for the safety of its 48 residents.
This follows an unannounced visit on December 13.
Inspectors found Bromford was failing to comply with the Government standard to protect people from inappropriate or unsafe care.
Among the failures, there was no evidence to show staff had regularly assessed residents' care needs.
If improvements are not made by set deadlines, the Care Quality Commission has the power to restrict the service or suspend it.
In June last year, inspectors found there was a shortfall in the safe administration of medicine at Royal Court and these needed to be addressed.
Care Quality Commission regional director for the south, Ian Biggs, said: "This warning sends a clear and public message that Royal Court needs to address this issue as a matter of urgency or face serious consequences."
Inspectors would return to the care home soon, he said, and, if changes had not been made, legal powers would be used.
Spokesman for Bromford Group, Sally Wright, said: "All care plans are up-to-date, relevant and reflect the care needs of all our residents. Systems are in place to ensure they are appropriately reviewed. The Care Quality Commission has been advised of this.
