Now a full report documenting the reasons for the drastic enforcement action shows “disturbing” findings at the home where the manager handed in her resignation on the day inspectors arrived.

A shocking report reveals that of 51 patients transferred to new homes, 19 have been the subject of ‘safeguarding alerts’ over their wellbeing. The abuse of patients at the notorious Winterbourne View care home revealed the ‘criminal and inhuman acts’ some nurses and carers are capable of, health minister Norman Lamb said today.

The hospital's failings stemmed from its leaders' lack of oversight to understand its shortcomings, the CQC concluded. The CQC inspectors observed numerous incidents where staff showed a lack of compassion verging on cruelty. "As an interim measure the trust will work alongside the management of the home to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the residents which remains the trust's priority." "There has not, therefore, been any opportunity for Runwood staff to engage with RQIA to address any concerns that they had with regard to the running of Ashbrooke Care Home.

Alton House in Sunrise Avenue, Hornchurch, currently cares for 15 older Havering residents diagnosed with dementia - although it has a maximum residency of 23.

The owners of Vancouver House announced the closure of the home on August 25 this year, just six days after an inspection team from the Care Quality Commission probed the facility. Inspectors went into a scandal-hit care home just days before it was permanently closed and their damning findings have just been published. As a result of that most recent inspection Alton House management has made the decision to move all residents out of the service.

Whitchurch Christian Care Home in Bristol is now set to close after a damning report deemed it to be ‘inadequate’ - the worst possible rating. A visiting professional described the service at the home as “chaotic” and it was rated as inadequate in every category. But it was shut down over a month ago after a court order upheld an urgent application by the Care Quality Commission which carried out the inspection. A report - described as ‘distressing’ - found the home as “dirty, malodorous and unhygienic” and so badly run that some residents were locked in their rooms at night.

Care home to close after residents ‘had no baths or showers for four weeks’

For example, one Ohio nursing home gave employees and residents less than a day’s notice before closing its doors. In Massachusetts, one nursing home was forced to close immediately after its parent company’s financial mismanagement was made public. The inspection report highlighted how medicines were "not managed safely" and the CQC team found examples of patients having missed their medication.

In a statement, Runwood Homes said it "was not given any prior notification of the enforcement action" the RQIA intended to take. Ulster Unionist MLA Rosemary Barton said the closure would be a "traumatic experience" for residents. Ms Macleod said that while the RQIA would normally have invited Runwood Homes to a "serious concerns meeting", the failures were "of such an extent that we believed this was the appropriate action to take". "There was no evidence in the records that any actions had been taken in relation to that case failure." "The patient equipment was dirty, the patients looked unkempt, their hair had not been washed, their clothes were dirty and there was a very strong odour of faeces and urine," she said.
