A care home has shut down after receiving a damning report from health inspectors.

Carr Green Nursing Home at Rastrick closed in February, just a few weeks after a probe by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The CQC report published this week revealed a shocking lack of health and safety standards, including dodgy fire exits.

And it found a staff shortage meant one night nurse was looking after 15 people – forcing the nurse to work two 60 hour weeks and two 48 hour weeks in a row.

Inspectors performed a surprise visit in January to follow up on poor conditions found the previous September.

The home for 25 residents had been served a number of warning notices in 2014 for breaches in relation to the safety and suitability of the premises.

Other serious shortcomings included, care standards, cleanliness and infection control and monitoring of the quality of service.

The home vowed to improve but on the visit in January the inspector still found fire doors that would not close, no gas or electrical safety certificates, water so hot it could scald the residents and draughty rooms.

The CQC was so concerned it referred the home to West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and the Health and Safety Executive.

The inspection also uncovered poor medication management, a lack of staff training and multiple breaches of the Health and Social Care Act.

Two residents were left with no shower for a month and some bedrooms had no hot water at all.

Despite the home’s closure the CQC is still investigating and could take legal action.

A spokeswoman at the home, owned by Flowertouch Limited, said the closure was nothing to do with the CQC report but would not comment further.

Debbie Westhead, deputy chief inspector of adult social care in the north, said: “Following our previous inspection of Carr Green Nursing Home we issued warning notices, setting a deadline for improvements in a number of areas.

“It is unacceptable that on our return visit in January these improvements had not been made and our inspectors found continued concerns.

“The people receiving care at Carr Green are entitled to services which are safe, effective, caring, well led, and responsive to their needs.

“The provider should have systems in place to monitor the quality of the service, and it is of significant concern that Flowertouch Limited did not have such systems in place to halt the deterioration in the service.

“We have told the provider that they must take action to resolve the issues we have identified as a priority and we are monitoring the situation closely in liaison with the local authority to ensure people are safe from any immediate risk.

“As a result of our findings we are currently considering the need for further enforcement actions however, we cannot provide details at this stage due to legal reasons.”
