INSPECTORS have raised a minor concern about the management of medicines at Church View Nursing Home in Princess Street, Accrington.
The Care Quality Commission, which visited the home last month, said: “People were not fully protected against the potential risks associated with some medicines. Some people were prescribed medication to be taken when required. There was not always guidance to inform staff when this should be given. Individual guidance would help to promote consistency of use and ensure medication was given when needed.“ The 40-bed home met the five other essential standards that were examined, and the report included a number of positive comments.
