A BRIGHOUSE nursing home has been warned to improve or face enforcement action.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has told Elm Royd Nursing Home in Brighouse it fell short by a long way of what services are expected of it.
It was during an unannounced inspection in August last year that inspectors found that the home in Brighouse Wood Lane was failing to provide care which was safe, effective, caring, responsive or well led.
Under CQC’s new programme of inspections, all adult social care services are being given a rating. Overall, Elm Royd Nursing Home has been rated as inadequate.
Debbie Westhead, Deputy Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care in the North said: “We have made it clear that we will return to the home to check that the necessary improvements have been made.”
