Euxton Park Care Home in Chorley rated 'inadequate'

[annie]

A Lancashire care home has been placed into special measures after being rated as inadequate by care inspectors.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) made an unannounced visit to Euxton Park Care Home in Chorley on 4 and 5 August.

Inspectors said the home was failing to protect residents from risks and it was not sufficiently staffed.

Owners Four Seasons Healthcare said people's wellbeing was its "first consideration" and an improvement plan had been put in place.

The CQC report found healthcare needs were not always being met and care plans lacked necessary detail.


Staff were not given enough support and training and many had "only a limited understanding" of the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
