Newhey Manor in Special Measures | Manchester News

Newhey Manor Residential Care Home is in crisis after being slapped with special measures by the Care Quality Commission — the worst rating possible — following a damning inspection that exposed serious safety failures, including an unlocked front door, chaotic medication management, and a complete lack of risk assessments. Residents, many with dementia, are stuck indoors with little stimulation, no access to natural light or fresh air, and are being put at risk by dangerous practices like storing flammable creams near electrical equipment. Staff are ill-equipped to handle basic tasks like reading fridge temperatures, and critical health issues — from blood sugar swings to online shopping habits — are being ignored. This isn’t an isolated incident — last year’s report already flagged the same problems, yet nothing has changed. The CQC is demanding immediate, sweeping reforms to prevent further harm to vulnerable residents. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
