This is Local London reports:
A BROMLEY care home has been warned it is failing to protect vulnerable people after inspectors found people’s health was being put at risk.
Archers Point Residential Home in Bickley Road, Bromley, has been issued with a formal warning by the Care Quality Commission [CQC] that it must make urgent improvements to standards of care provided.
Inspectors found staff were not following proper instructions when administering medicine, putting people at risk of side effects or the medicine being ineffective.
They were also concerned staff were not trained to give out medications and were not storing it properly or keeping records of doses.
It is the second time the home has received a formal warning following a CQC inspection.
A previous review in June 2011 found the home was not meeting standards of care in 16 different areas, with major concerns in three areas including medication management, staffing and treating people with respect.
Though the home had made improvements in most areas, medication management remains a concern...
The home has not commented.
