Saffronland Homes (25 004 266b)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Care and treatment 03-Nov-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained West Sussex County Council failed to provide her late husband, Mr X, with alternative domiciliary care after a care agency ended its contract. She said this meant he had to go into residential care in one of Saffronland Homes’ nursing homes. Mrs X says he received poor care there from both the nursing home and Maywood Health Centre. Mrs X says Mr X was unhappy in the care home and considers he would still be alive, had he received better care. We will not investigate this complaint. Parts of the complaint are late. For other parts, it would have been reasonable for Mrs X to seek a legal remedy in the courts. We are unlikely to achieve the outcome Mrs X seeks by investigating the rest of her complaint.

Teesside Healthcare (24 020 449a)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Care and treatment 24-Sep-2025
Summary: We will not investigate a council and care homes over the care of Mr X, Mrs X’s husband. Mrs X says the faults in care led to her husband’s death and for distress for her. There were faults admitted by the council and care homes. However, both organisations have taken action to prevent the faults happening for other care home residents. An investigation would be unlikely to find the faults caused Mr X’s death or achieve more for Mrs X than the work the council and care homes have already carried out.
