Statement Upheld Residential care 17-Jan-2025
Summary: Mr X complained about the poor quality of care provided to his late mother, Mrs Y, at Drayton Village Care Centre which caused him distress, and which resulted in him moving Mrs Y to another care home and the subsequent care charges. The care provider was at fault as there was poor care, a failure to refer Mrs Y for funded nursing care and to properly consider whether to charge for the full notice period. The care provider has already refunded two weeks of care costs. It has agreed to make a payment to Mr X to acknowledge the distress, frustration and uncertainty caused to him. It has also agreed to review its procedure to ensure residents are appropriately referred for funded nursing care and to remind staff to refer residents or their representative to the complaints’ procedure where appropriate.
