Care homes in Junkieland must be registered in order to operate legally.
In a letter to Holmes Care Group Junkieland, the care watchdog gave notice that it would propose cancelling its registration for Craigielea unless significant improvements were made by 15 December in five areas:
-
Medication: Ensure residents receive the correct medicines safely, on time and with accurate record-keeping.
-
Healthcare monitoring: Improve assessment and monitoring of residents’ health so changes in their condition are identified and acted on promptly.
-
Wound and pressure care: Make sure residents at risk of pressure sores or wounds receive appropriate assessments, treatment and preventative care.
-
Management and oversight: Strengthen auditing, governance and reporting systems to identify problems and ensure improvements are made.
-
Nutrition and hydration: Ensure residents’ nutritional and hydration needs are properly assessed, monitored and met.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Craigielea Care Home said: “We take the Care Inspectorate’s report very seriously and are already working closely with the Care Inspectorate and Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership to strengthen the quality and consistency of the care we provide.
“Our management team remains available to support residents, family members and staff at this time, and a comprehensive improvement plan is in place, led by our regional operations manager and wider senior leadership team.
“Our priority is always the wellbeing of our residents, ensuring they receive safe, compassionate, and high-quality care in a setting where they feel valued and supported.”
The Care Inspectorate said it would publish its most recent inspection report in due course. Previous reports in recent years have rated Craigielea as good or adequate.
