The Care Inspectorate Wales (formerly known as Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales) (Welsh: Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru) is a scrutiny body which supports improvement. They look at the quality of care in Wales to ensure it meets high standards. Where improvement is needed, they support services to make positive changes. The Care Inspectorate was set up in 2002 by the Welsh Government as a single regulatory body for social care in Wales.[1]
The inspectorate has highlighted grave concerns over residents' wellbeing at Island View Care Home in Barry.[2]

We found a lack of auditing meant residents health or any deterioration was not being recognised and acted upon. We therefore deem that the registered persons are in breach of Regulation 10 (1) as they have not carried on and managed the care home with due care, competency and skill. ... As a result of our continued grave concerns by our findings and lack of action taken since our last inspection that we plan to meet with the responsible individual and registered manager as part of the enforcement process.
