A Bishopton care home that was slammed two months ago for poor cleanliness and putting patients at risk of malnutrition is now providing "adequate" support for residents, a watchdog has said.
Ailsa Lodge was graded as "weak" in August following a check-up by the Care Inspectorate (CI) after assessors found soiled mattresses, stained furniture and poor dining arrangements.
Improvements were found to have been made in a follow-up inspection last month as the home was being redecorated and staff were more attentive at mealtimes.
But a report said work still needed to be done to bring infection prevention and control standards up to scratch and the "weak" grading was not altered.
After visiting the home this month, the CI concluded care has now been brought up to an "adequate" standard and deemed staff's support for people's well-being as "good".
The latest report said: "The home was clean and we found all areas to be well presented. We could see the programme to redecorate the home had progressed and some of the corridors had been painted.
"The management team had reviewed cleaning schedules. We looked at staff training records and saw staff had been supported with refresher training around Covid-19 guidance.
"We found an improvement in the standard of cleanliness since the last inspection. In all the rooms we checked we could see staff had paid more attention to detail.
"We felt reassured that people could be supported in an environment that reduced their risk of infection.
"We could see the service had good oversight of clinical risks within the home which included nutrition and skincare.
"All of the residents now had the new format care plans in place. These contained a good range of health and risk assessments.
"We found the plans we sampled were written in a person-centred way. We could see people experiencing care and their representatives had been involved in the development."

Inspectors said they spoke with six residents during the check-up who all "spoke warmly" about living in the Ferry Road home, which cares for up to 37 residents.
The home is operated by McKenzie Care Ltd which said it was "deeply sorry" for the failings observed in August.
