Working at Meadowcroft Residential Care Home

Medications left in unlocked bedrooms and bathrooms and stock records do not match actual amounts, risking wrong access or shortages.

Medicines stock counts were not accurate. Medicines were not consistently stored safely. Some medicines were found stored in unlocked rooms for example, people's bedrooms and bathrooms.

Management checks failed to spot unsafe medication storage and recording problems.

Systems had not identified where medicines were not stored safely. Systems were in place to check medicines storage however despite being completed these had failed to identify and action.

Staffing is adequate but nothing special, no info on retention, agency use or extra staff for unhurried care.

Staff told us there were enough staff to support people safely and our observations supported this, people did not have to wait for support.
