Prospect House, in Altofts, is back in special measures only a year after being taken out of them by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Inspectors have highlighted several failings within the service, which cared for seven people at the time of their visit in May.

A report by the CQC said that prescription drugs were not managed safely at the premises, on Drury Lane, and in one case a patient was allowed to drink beer despite being on medication which specified they should not consume alcohol.

Prospect House now has six months to make big improvements to the service or else face closure.
