A North Lincolnshire nursing home is fined £3,750 for failure to comply with CQC regulations

Gilby House Nursing Home failed to meet national CQC requirements and has been issued with fines of £3,750.
CQC has issued two fixed penalty notices, one to the provider, Prime Life Limited, and one to the former manager of Gilby House Nursing Home following their failure to notify the CQC within the required timescales about incidents affecting residents at the home.
CQC carried out an unannounced inspection at Gilby House Nursing Home on the 24 October 2013 as part of their scheduled programme of inspections for 2013/14.
After a review of care records, inspectors found that there had been a failure to inform CQC about the death of a person living at the home, and of a serious injury to another resident following a fall..
Due to the Home’s failure to meet legally required national standards, CQC has issued fixed penalty notices of £3,750.
