The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has issued three warning notices to Kite Hill Care Home in Wootton Bridge, Isle of Wight, following an inspection that rated the facility as ‘requires improvement’ overall.

Run by Colville Care, the home was found to be lacking in safety, effectiveness, responsiveness, and leadership. The CQC identified five regulatory breaches concerning consent, safe care and treatment, governance, staffing, and a failure to notify the watchdog of necessary information. Specific failings included inadequate risk management, ineffective staff training, and poor governance. Notably, the CQC reported that medicines were not always managed safely, with instances of prescribed doses not being administered and residents being given expired medication.

While the facility was praised for its cleanliness, maintenance, and food quality, relatives expressed concerns regarding resident isolation and care consistency.
