Serious care reviews / safe guarding adults
Winterbourne view in Bristol summerset abused and neglected vulnerable adults and people with learning difficulties which brought the care home to be investigated. The serious case review says the care home owners put profits before standards.
The care staff at the care home bullied and assaulted residents on a daily basis leading to 13 of them being suspended.
Three men and one woman had been arrested the police said.
A undercover reporter recorded the staff goading patients to commit suicide, punching and slapping them in the face. And also subjecting them to cold showers and pinning them down to the ground with chairs.
The investigation also found that the whistle blower had reported the abuse to both managers at the home but they both failed to act.
The police was contacted 29 times but the bosses simply put money before the care of the patients, failure by the police, and the care commission and the owners are all to blame for the abuse these suffered.
Some of the patients had to go to the accident and emergency rooms because the staff at the winterbourne had treated them so badly, but they were unable to tell that the staff had been abusing them.
New reports views recognised;
. Poor training
. Wrong facilities
. Restraining
. False record keeping
The patients should have been cared for more locally.
Many care homes are run very well and not all care homes are run in this way, but it does give the good one a bad reputation.
