North East care home told improve following inspection

An Aberdeen care home has been told it must make improvements after the quality of care it provided to residents was graded ‘weak’ for the second inspection in a row by Scotland’s social care regulator.

The Care Inspectorate has now published the findings of its latest unannounced inspection of Grandholm Care Home in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen.

Inspectors rated the service as ‘weak’ for the quality of care and support provided to residents, for the second inspection in a row.

In their report on the most recent inspection, inspectors noted: “Whilst we have identified and reported on some positive experiences for residents, we found continuing areas for improvement to bring the service up to an acceptable standard.

“A new permanent manager was due to commence in the service in early June 2014.”

Six requirements for improvement which were made following an earlier inspection were found on this inspection not to have been met.
