Inspectors visited Arden Manor Care Home, Birmingham New Road, Lanesfield, and rated the care given to its 21 residents as "inadequate".

Conditions were so bad the CQC issued immediate Notice of Proposal to Cancel Registration, which means the care home cannot officially administer care to its patients if it does not respond within 28 days. More than a month has passed since the notice and the care home is now unavailable for comment.

Inspectors had previously identified problems at the home and demanded improvement which did not happen.

The inspectors found: "People were not protected from potential abuse as incidents were not always documented and reported so that action could be taken.
