AN 'inadequate' care home is still in special measures after another inspection by the Care Quality Commission.
Winsford Grange Care Home received the lowest rating for a third time in a row on Wednesday, November 26.
Previously, in October of last year and in March of this year, the care home was inadequate in all five of the key questions and in breach of nine regulations.
Now it is inadequate in three of the key questions and in breach of five regulations under the Health and Social Care Act (Regulated Activities) Regulations.
In spite of the slight improvement, it is still in special measures amid the threat of regulatory action by a watchdog which has the ability to review its registration or remove its registration, in effect shutting down the service.
A report said: "The provider has not responded effectively to the findings from Care Quality Commission inspections, missing opportunities to foster organizational commitment to continuous learning, open communication and reflective practice to improve safety and outcomes for people."
Winsford Grange Care Home has space for 60 adult residents at its site on the Station Road Bypass.
At the time of the inspection there were 28 adult residents with additional needs including dementia.
A Park Homes UK Ltd spokesperson said: "We are working closely with our partners to ensure that all the requirements are met in a timely manner.
"We are encouraged by the improvements highlighted; we are well on our way to meeting the outstanding requirements at the home.
"We thank the residents and relatives for their support and all our staff for their hard work and dedication."
