"Unsafe" nursing home still pointing potential customers to a glowing report two years out of date

Firtree House Nursing Home in Banstead, was criticised by the Care Quality Commission in March for failing to provide care which was safe, effective or well-led.

FROM MARCH: Owner of Banstead care home rated "inadequate" confident it will not be closed down

But any potential paying customers looking for a care home for their elderly relatives to be looked after in their later years might be mistaken for getting a different story.

The website was, as recently as this afternoon, still linking to a June 2013 report when it met every standard assessed.

By doing so the care home in Fir Tree Road is breaching new legal guidelines - which made it a legal requirement to display the latest ratings.

At the time of the report Adrian Hughes, deputy chief inspector of adult social care south at the CQC, said it was “unacceptable” that concerns had not been addressed at the home.

He said: “The question we have to ask ourselves, is does the provider have the capacity and capability to make the changes, embed them in practice so the improvements are sustained over time?

Salim Jiwa, owner of Firtree, had 21 days from April 1 to comply with publishing report - a deadline which has now expired.

He said today that it was just a mistake and that he would be changing the website to include a link to the March 2015 report rating it "inadequate".
