RESIDENTS at Holmewood Residential Care Home in Cockermouth have been forced to move after a rating found it to be 'inadequate'.
The report found issues that stated people 'were at risk because of poor infection prevention and control practices'; systems 'weren’t always safe or robust to ensure suitable staff were recruited to work with vulnerable adults'; and information about risks to people was 'not always effectively assessed, monitored, or managed'.
"People did not receive kind, compassionate care," the report added. "On occasions, people were crying as they had not received assistance they needed."
Kroll Advisory has been administrator for the home for the last 18 months, and they told the BBC they were unable to secure a sale of the care home, and residents were being moved out before Easter.
