Telford care home placed in special measures - but staff already working through action plan
A residential home in Telford has been placed in special measures following an inspection in June.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated Birkdale Residential Home inadequate, but said there were some positive areas of care.
The manager of the home on Station Hill, St George's, said that an action plan was in place with about 50 per cent of the actions already addressed.
Fran Louise manager, said the rating was very disappointing and said the home was working with Telford and Wrekin Council, infection control and health and safety to work through the action plan.
Birkdale Residential Home, run by The Keepings Limited, provides accommodation and personal care to older people, some of whom are living with dementia.
The inspection was carried out as part of CQC’s continual checks on the safety and quality of healthcare services. Placing the home in special measures means it will be kept under review and there will be a re-inspection to check for significant improvements.
