Inspectors say residents were not always safeguarded from the risk of abuse
By Will Jefford & BBC Radio NottinghamA Nottingham care home has been placed in special measures after inspectors raised concerns about patient safety.
Inspectors, who visited in January, found residents were not always protected from the risk of abuse and not enough was done to keep belongings secure.A report released by the CQC said inspectors rated the home, which cares for patients with dementia and physical disabilities, as inadequate in four out of five categories.
While looking at patient safety, the report said accident and incident reports documented allegations of abuse that had not been referred to the local authority safeguarding teams.One resident told inspectors valuable items had been taken from their room.
