A WATCHDOG has given a Glasgow care home a month to remedy a host of problems uncovered during a swoop – or face possible closure.
A WATCHDOG has given a Glasgow care home a month to remedy a host of serious problems uncovered during a swoop – or face possible closure.
The Glasgow Times has seen the four-page improvement notice that was delivered to bosses at the home by the Care Inspectorate on Friday. It contains a 15-point plan that must be actioned by April 29. Owners Silverline Care have also been rapped over staffing failures identified by the Care Inspectorate. They have been told to ensure that those living within the home are supported by ‘qualified and competent employees’ - and in numbers to ensure residents' health and safety. They have also been warned there must be enough people on each shift who are appropriately skilled, knowledgeable and experienced in the roles they are performing.
We previously told in August 2023 how the facility had been rocked by the threat of a staff walkout after a row erupted around alleged cuts to overtime rates. It came after Silverline bought the business from previous owners, the Four Seasons group. "We are communicating closely with partners, including the local health and social care partnership, to ensure those affected experience appropriate support during this difficult time. Anyone with a concern can contact us directly on 0345 600 9527."
