When we find fault, we can recommend improvements to systems and processes where they haven’t worked properly, so that others do not suffer from these same problems in future. Common examples are policy changes; procedural reviews; and staff training. Service improvements from decisions are published for 5 years and those from reports are published for 10 years.

    Summary

    We found fault by Broadoak Manor Care Home (acting on behalf of St Helen’s Metropolitan Borough Council) in the care it provided to Mrs X. This caused her husband, Mr X, distress and uncertainty. The Council will apologise and take action to prevent similar problems occurring in future.

    Service improvements

    The Council will explain what action it will take to ensure Broadoak Manor Care Home:- has a clear records management policy in place to ensure the maintenance of accurate, complete and detailed records, as well as a robust programme of audit; and - has clear protocols setting out the action staff should take if a resident becomes acutely unwell. This should include guidance on the importance of recognising sudden changes in a resident's presentation, as well as the importance of seeking clinical input where appropriate.
