4deficiencies

Cheshire Home shows a concerning pattern with 28 deficiencies across three surveys, primarily in fire safety and building systems, infection control, and nursing services. Most troubling is the recurring infection control violations in both 2021 and 2024, suggesting persistent safety issues. While all deficiencies were reportedly corrected, the frequency and repetition of problems, especially in critical safety areas, warrants careful consideration during your visit.
