A 45 bedded nursing home, was only occupied by 24 residents on the day of the inspection. Prior to the inspection, there were concerns made in regarding the wellbeing of the elderly people living at St Theresa Nursing Home. These concerns were as follows, pressure area care, nutrition needs and improper use of medicines were identified. Also other concerns were in adequate staffing levels, nevertheless a general lack of confidence in the management of the service. On the day of the inspection, CQC found out that the manager was not available to answer these serious concerns which it appears that the care home has been running without a responsible person to meet the legal requirements in accordance with the Social Care Act.
