Longwood Lodge is a care home in Oldham accommodating up to 40 older people, with 37 residents at the time of inspection. The home is operated by Longwood Lodge Care Limited.
Inspectors identified several concerns with medicines management. Issues included medicines given with food, incomplete PRN (when required) plans, inadequate stock level monitoring, and improper storage of some medicines. Records for topical creams and drink thickeners required improvement.
While the home carried out audits to check medicines were managed safely, these audits did not adequately address the specific areas of concern identified during the inspection.
