Accepting assault?
Evidence of such horrifying ‘care’ in a home that the CQC has previously rated as ‘excellent’ should be a call for the home in question to seriously question its values, and for the CQC to improve its inspection.
A report following the incident seemed to play down its impact, continuing to claim thatAsh Courtprovided good quality care to its residents.
This is completely counter-productive to improving conditions within care homes and does not do anything to repair the CQC’s floundering reputation.
Openly admitting fault is the first step to repairing the damage in order to offer secure, quality care for future residents. ‘Excellent’ establishments do not allow such behaviour to take place, even if it is only a small percentage of the whole workforce’s performance.
