Nursing home ban
Thursday, 12th June, 2008 08:10
UNDER-fire Tranent Nursing Home is facing its second ban on admissions in less than a year, as staffing problems continue to plague the care facility.
Healthcare services regulator, the Care Commission, formally warned home owners Southern Cross Healthcare Ltd on Monday that it faced being unable to accept new residents.
In response, East Lothian Council – which is responsible for 49 of the 56 residents currently housed at the home – has arranged a private meeting of relatives amd carers with representatives of Southern Cross and the Commission this week.
East Lothian Council’s cabinet member for adult social care services, Fa’side councillor Ruth Currie, said: “We are very concerned that the Care Commission have sufficient concerns that they have notified Southern Cross Healthcare about this proposed condition notice.
