A CARE home in Accrington has received a largely positive inspection report.

Henley House, in Whalley Road, was given ‘good’ ratings on four measures, but told to improve the safety of residents.

The Care Quality Commission said: “People told us they were cared for very well. People also considered their privacy and dignity was respected.

“However we raised two issues to the registered manager that we found during this visit that differed with this view.

“We found staff were not supported with adequate training to manage behaviours that challenge from people, that placed them and others at risk of harm and of receiving inappropriate or unsafe care.”

The inspection team also found sanitary waste facilities in toilets were not adequate in minimising risk of cross infection, and storage of unused furniture/aids was unsafe.

The home is run by Wellfield & Henley House Limited.
