Investigation reports

Our latest Case Digest features a number of investigations into complaints about care homes. It highlights the importance of good complaints handling and provides some key messages for the families of those in care.

We found that a pre-admission assessment for a care home resident did not accurately record her mobility, meaning that the home was ill-prepared for her arrival.

The parents of a woman with multiple healthcare needs complained that she should have been cared for in a nursing home rather than a residential home.  Our investigation found that the Trust properly assessed the woman’s needs and cared for her appropriately.
