Preston mental health centre criticised over dirty plates and no emergency medicine
The Hamptons in Bamber Bridge, is a high-dependency rehabilitation unit for men with mental health needs - catering for patients between the ages of 18 and 65. In a report published last week , it was handed a 'Requires Improvement' rating.
Further to this, the kitchen was not included in the centre's daily cleaning schedule, meaning it was not receiving a regular clean, but instead was receiving three monthly deep cleans. Further on in the report, inspectors found that the service's managers did not make sure agency and bank staff were fully inducted into the service before starting their shift.
However, despite this, patients told inspectors that it was the best service they had been to and were given one time with their named nurse. They also enjoyed their group outings, cooking opportunities and work around the service including clearing the garden.
