The retirement home was deemed 'Inadequate' by the Care Quality Commission
A care home for the elderly has been criticised by the health watchdog after residents were found not to be safe - and 'at risk of avoidable harm’.
"At our last inspection we found that bathing and shower seats did not have lap belts," an inspection report read. "The provider told us they would seek advice from an appropriate professional about safety belts."During our walk round at this inspection we found lap belts were still not in place. The shower chair was also rusty.
The report also highlighted issues with fire risk assessments. 'Large amounts of combustible materials' were found 'stored in three rooms in the basement', according to the CQC. Water temperatures were found to be very low and 'outside of safe levels'. Boss Mr Tuhidul Alam said: “We are extremely upset about the report, in the last two years since I became manager at Meavy View, myself and the team have worked extremely hard to get this care home up and compliant. The report does not reflect the hard work that has gone in and especially how happy our residents are.

Associations between change in physical activity and sedentary time and health-related quality of life in older english adults: the EPIC-Norfolk cohort study - Health and Quality of Life OutcomesBackground No previous studies have examined the associations between changes in objectively-measured physical behaviours with follow-up QoL in older adults. Based on cross-sectional evidence, it is biologically plausible that such associations exist. If so, this bolsters the case for the commissioning of activity interventions and for including QoL as an outcome in trials of such interventions. Methods We assessed physical behaviours (total physical activity, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity, total sedentary time and prolonged sedentary bout time) for 7 days using hip-worn accelerometers at baseline (2006–2011) and follow-up (2012–2016) and health-related quality-of-life (QoL) using EQ-5D questionnaires at follow-up in 1433 participants (≥ 60 years) of the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer)-Norfolk study. The EQ-5D summary score was used, with 0 as the worst to 1 as best perceived quality-of-life. We evaluated the prospective associations of baseline physical behaviours with follow-up QoL, and of changes in behaviours with follow-up QoL using multi-level regression. Results On average, MVPA decreased by 4.0 min/day/year (SD 8.3) for men and 4.0 min/day/year for women (SD 12.0) between baseline and follow-up. Total sedentary time increased by an average 5.5 min/day/yr (SD 16.0) for men and 6.4 min/day/yr (SD 15.0) for women between baseline and follow-up. Mean (SD) follow-up time was 5.8 (1.8) years. We found that higher baseline MVPA and lower sedentary time was associated with higher subsequent QoL (e.g. 1 h/day greater baseline MVPA was associated with 0.02 higher EQ-5D score, 95% CI 0.06, 0.36). More pronounced declines in activity were associated with worse Hr-QoL (0.005 (95% CI 0.003, 0.008) lower EQ-5D per min/day/yr decrease in MVPA). Increases in sedentary behaviours were also associated with poorer QoL (0.002 lower EQ-5D, 95% CI -0.003, -0.0007 per hour/day/yr increase in total sedentary time). Concl
