Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is learning of the pressures faced by conscientious led Care Providers striving to offer a caring and safe environment to both service users and staff. Safety monitoring is proving to be a invaluable care assist tool - bringing a more open and transparent culture into care homes as well as saving valuable resources within the care home sector and the NHS
My mother was a resident at Argyle House Care Home in Northampton. During her time there the police investigation concluded she may have been ‘catapulted’ out of her support chair by another resident. Staff were not in the lounge when the incident happened, evidentially Vulnerable residents including our Mum were not being supervised. My mother suffered a broken shoulder and bad bruising , two broken wrists and a gash to her head and face - causing brain damage - which unfortunately lead to her death 10 days later in hospital. During our families anguish over this Jayne Connery of Care Campaign for the Vulnerable has been our Family’s rock, giving us advice, guidance and support - she’s a gem
As a family time leading up to the tragedy it was evident not enough staff to cover the amount of residents they had. Paying nearly £900 a week each this should not have been an issue. The investigation concluded home did have enough staff on at the time. We strongly disagree.
