That is absolutely disgusting......sadly though, it is happening all too frequently.
And I really don't see what difference regular inspections are going to make....shouldn't they have already been in place?
Vanessa Taylor, Haverhill, UK
Weren't the family visiting her enough to spot these problems developing? I totally condemn the care home and I agree that care of the elderly is disgusting - and unfortunately the families have to be the ones keeping an eye and standing up for the old person. It is very tough on old people who don't have families to fight for them. This case ought to show those who do have elderly relatives in homes or hospitals, that they have a responsibility to keep a close eye on them. I wish I could think it would improve the standard of care for ALL old people
JA, LONDON,
Welcome to civilised 21st century Britain. What a joke.
