Investigation reports

A man believed that staff from his wife’s care home should have consulted with doctors when she contracted Covid-19. We partially upheld the complaint.

A woman complained that her father’s health deteriorated because he was not looked after properly in his care home. Our investigation found failings in his care and treatment, as well as a string of serious record keeping failures by the home.

The Ombudsman has found that a care home provided a patient with the right level of the drug Quetiapine, and addressed a complainant’s concerns about the diet the patient received in the home.
