Rest home inspections reveal major shortfalls.
An Auckland rest home has finally been closed after two inspections found the manager was unable to safely manage an aged care facility. The home, Rathgar Court in Henderson, remained open for six months after an unannounced inspection by the Ministry of Health found major failings in care.
Reports released to Consumer under the Official Information Act show Rathgar Court is one of four homes that have had unannounced inspections in the past year. The inspection reports show shortfalls were identified at all the facilities. However, the most serious failings were at Rathgar Court.
