The service closed temporarily after the an\u00a086-year-old woman and two men, aged 74 and 91 died on October 23, 2024.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n The care home reopened in January before a police investigation into the care home was conducted in May.\n<\/p>\n
\n Dorset Police ruled out the presence of carbon monoxide as the cause of death.\n<\/p>\n
\n The investigation confirmed two of the residents died from natural causes and the third died from \u201clong-term health complications relating to catheterisation overseen by healthcare services\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n The report from the CQC found the service had a \u201cproactive and positive culture of safety, based on openness and honesty\u201d and \u201clessons were learnt to continually identify and embed good practice\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n The report added the inspection saw \u201cmostly\u201d kind interactions between staff and people in the care home and that there were no concerns with how residents were presented.\n<\/p>\n
\n It said: \u201cPeople were cared for safely and learning was taken from accidents and incidents and used to minimise future risks.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cReferrals were made to external agencies such as safeguarding and to healthcare professionals.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe found some areas of medicines administration practice needed to be improved; however, we found no evidence of impact on people as a result of this.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The inspection also praised the shared direction and culture of the care home based upon \u201ctransparency, equity, equality and human rights, diversity and inclusion, engagement, and understanding challenges and the needs of people and their communities\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n One family member of one of the residents said of the staff were \u201cwelcoming and professional\u201d and added they were \u201ccompetent and well trained\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n A short-term aim of the service was to increase numbers of people using the service to enable it to become the\u201d homely service\u201d it had been before closure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gainsborough Care Home received a \u201cgood\u201d rating in the categories of overall, safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53099,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-53098","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-healthcare","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
