The manager and another member of staff have been suspended from a care home on Anglesey after a "series of failings". Regard Partnership Ltd which runs the Beudygwyn Farm care home at Amlwch said it regretted any lapses in care and would not tolerate any failings. The Care and Social Services Inspectorate for Wales (CSSIW) said it had imposed conditions at the home. Anglesey Council confirmed it had withdrawn six residents from the home for vulnerable adults. A council spokesman said social services and the CSSIW were investigating care practices at the home. "As this investigation is currently on-going, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this time," he added. The CSSIW confirmed it was working with other agencies under procedures for protecting vulnerable adults in relation to Beudygwyn Farm. "CSSIW has to date imposed two conditions on the registration of this care home which means that there can be no further admissions until we are satisfied that the home meets the expected standards. "It has also taken out of use a part of the accommodation," said their spokesman. "Three compliance notices have also been issued," he added. Beudygwyn is a 12 acre non-working farm with a main four-bedded farmhouse and four cottages.
