Four Winds Care Home Ramsgate - Inadequate Standard of Care |
Out of these 57 care homes 44 were rated as being good and 1
outstanding and 9 were rated as requiring improvement and 3 as inadequate. Of
the three rated inadequate one is located in Ramsgate. It is the Four Winds
care home on Brokenhurst Road. Percentage wise this means that 79% of
Thanet’s care homes are good or outstanding and that 21% require improvement or
are inadequate. This puts Thanet slightly ahead of the national picture in
terms of poor quality care homes. But the worrying fact remains that almost a
quarter of the care homes in the district are sub-standard and providing totally
unacceptable levels of care for some of the most vulnerable people. This is
totally unacceptable and should not be tolerated.
There must be a comprehensive national review of residential care, and care in the community services. Services should be
properly funded and provide the best possible standards of care. Staff should be
fairly rewarded and not forced to depend on low pay and zero hours contracts.
Services falling below acceptable standards should be closed down. This will
not be cheap but a fair and progressive taxation system would more than cover the
costs.
