Bosses at two care homes have been ordered to improve after inspections by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Inspectors said Abbeyfield House, in New Malden, and Langley Court, in Surbiton, were both 'good' in three of five key areas, but required improvement overall.
They praised staff at Abbeyfield House, home to 35 older people with dementia, but the home had breached regulations by failing to carry out a quarterly health and safety check, meaning residents were not always adequately protected.
Care at the home is not rushed and staff "go about their duties with pleasure", he said. Langley Court cares for 28 people, many with dementia. Inspectors found medicines were sometimes given late and the home was in breach of regulations, with a potential for errors in administration.
A previous inspection also found medicine management to be an issue. However, staff were effective, caring and responsive, the CQC said.
Managers have now guaranteed that staff will not be disturbed while they are administering medicine.
