A UK care agency shut down after failing inspections due to unsafe staffing and poor care.
Dependable Care LLP, a domiciliary care agency in Cradley Heath, Sandwell, closed on November 30 after the Care Quality Commission (CQC) placed it in special measures due to serious safety and management failures.
An October inspection found the agency rated "inadequate" across all categories, with 27% of care calls missed, unqualified staff, inconsistent care planning, and inadequate oversight.
Although no clients with learning disabilities or autism were using the service at the time, the CQC cited breaches in five regulations, including staffing, safety, and person-centred care.
The agency had lost its council contract earlier in the year and struggled with staff retention.
The CQC initiated regulatory action, which the agency could appeal, and will monitor for improvements.
