A Hamilton care home has made “significant improvements” in a follow-up visit by the Care Inspectorate.
Lornebank Care Centre received a follow up visit last month after an unannounced visit in April.
The Care Inspectorate conducted a COVID-19 inspection of the care home on April 7, 12 and 13, failing to impress, with the findings outlined in a report to parliament on April 28.
A follow-up inspection was carried out on June 4 to follow up on outstanding improvements required of the home in relation to catheter care.
On June 4, the Care Inspectorate found “significant improvements” in catheter care risk assessment and care planning at the home, run by Hudson (Lorne) Ltd.
The inspection report laid out to the Scottish Parliament on June 23 stated: “All staff had completed comprehensive training in catheter care, appropriate to their role.
"Management had supported staff to reflect on their learning and how this had improved their practice.
“Quality assurance auditing of catheter care needs had been strengthened and people’s care plans were being reviewed and evaluated monthly.”
“The provider had sought support from the Care Home Liaison team and further staff training was planned.”
The inspectorate informed South Lanarkshire health and social care partnership of their findings.
