2015-12-31Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementAitken House received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because whilst staff were caring and responsive to people's needs, there were significant shortcomings in safety management, risk assessment and governance. Risks to people's safety—particularly regarding falls, nutrition, and medicine management—were not consistently assessed or managed effectively, and the provider lacked systems to monitor quality and safety. Additionally, care records contained inaccurate information that could lead to inappropriate care being provided.
