West Sussex council is to pull 52 residents out of a Bupa care home because their "health, safety and welfare are at risk", it announced today. The move follows a series of damning inspections of Oakhurst Grange Nursing Home in Crawley by the Care Quality Commission and ongoing safeguarding action from the council and NHS partners. Concerns include unexplained bruising to residents, use of restraint, the level of respect accorded to residents and medication records. Though council and NHS staff have been working with Bupa over the past few weeks to raise standards at the home, West Sussex council said improvements had not been sufficient and were unlikely to be sustained. 'Standards still poor' "We have worked in partnership with the home's management team for many weeks to help the service to improve so we are disappointed that standards are still so poor that residents' health, safety and welfare are at risk," said director of adults' services Amanda Rogers.
