A nursing home has been slammed for being ineffective, poorly led and uncaring, in a damming report published by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Broadlands Nursing Home, in Burdon Lane, Cheam, houses up to 25 people with nursing needs, many of whom have dementia. Its performance was judged to be inadequate by inspectors in their January 8 report.

This latest damnation comes just months after the Sutton Guardian reported the care home was found to be unsafe and filthy following an unannounced CQC inspection of the service on July 30 and August 7 last year. Inspectors found 10 breaches of legal requirements, issuing six warning notices.

Inspectors returned on October 24 and 28 to follow up on whether action had been taken to address the breaches of regulations in relation to the warning notices.

Sally Warren, CQC’s deputy chief inspector of adult social care in London, said: “Inspectors found that some improvements had been made, however, the home continues to be rated as inadequate at this stage.

“CQC is continuing to monitor the home closely, and will return unannounced again in due course to check that further improvements have been made.

“If the home is still rated as inadequate at that stage, we will consider what further action we may need to take to make sure that people living there receive care which is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led.”

The home’s website says it is a “well established care home,” which aims to “provide a safe and comfortable environment” and that it is “committed to providing each resident with an individual care plan to suit their specific needs” and that it is “committed to maintaining a caring, friendly, homely and happy atmosphere”.

It informs those visiting the website the home is routinely inspected by the CQC, but when the link is clicked the next page reads: “Sorry, we couldn’t find that page.”

The care home’s owner, Rahim Baloo, was unavailable for comment.
