Inspectorate order immediate improvement at Carluke care home

Scotland’s social care regulator has served a formal improvement notice on a South Lanarkshire care home.

It comes after serious concerns were raised about the quality of care provided at Miltongrange Nursing Home in Carluke.

The improvement notice lists seven areas of concern which must be improved upon quickly.

A spokesman for the Care Inspectorate said: “We were concerned about the way in which the needs of residents were being met, including concerns about skin care and nutrition.

“We were also concerned by poor infection control procedures; staff training; staff skills and competencies; notification reporting; and the quality of management and leadership.

“Everyone in Scotland has the right to safe, compassionate care which meets their needs and respects their rights.”
