A North Norfolk care home has been placed in special measures after inspectors found the home was understaffed – putting residents “at risk of harm.”
Sun Court Nursing Home in Morris Street Sheringham has been rated as inadequate and told it must improve or face action by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The home, which is run by Cephas Care, provides personal and nursing care to people aged 65 and older. It was previously rated as requiring improvement and the latest rating is the second time since Cephas Care took over the home that its rating has fallen.
When inspectors visited the home in May 2021, they found a number of failings. The home was found to be unsafe, inspectors said infection control was lacking and improvements had not been made since the last inspection.
They also found that the “quality of the services of care and management of safety and risk had continued to decline.”
