Winterbourne View:-
Care Home for Adults with learning disabilities and autism.

Concern and problems were raised at Winterbourne Home on 1 June 2011, when footage was released of abuse, neglect and many more problems were shown and released to the public.
Reporter Joseph Carey went undercover as an employee for 5 weeks secretly filming the carers and nurses in the home abusing and neglecting residents. The footage exposed abuse, gross misconduct, and neglect amongst other things taking place in this care home. This home became public concern when a nurse came and reported her “great concern” after working for a short period of time.
Service users were filmed being hit, slapped, pinned down, restrained and dragged in to showers fully clothed an soaked with cold water are some of the distressing abuse filmed by the undercover reporter. People have described the footage as “horrific”. Andrew McDonnell who works with adults with learning disabilities labelled it as “torture”.
Winterbourne owners Castle beck have apologised and suspended 13 employees, 4 of which have been released on police bail. MPs are also very concerned and have called CQC (care quality commission) in to do a full investigation. NHS also commented that they are “appalled” with the issues of concern raised in the care home. Professor Jim Mansell quoted it was “the worst kind of institutional care that was prevalent in the 60’s”.
The issue raised on this care home has shocked thousands of people not only the people that watched the documentary made about Winterbourne but also in the care profession, government and private sectors. This has effected service provision as this went on without anyone realising, or not being listen to for long. It has changed some methods of working such as, more spot checks being made by CQC (care quality commission), health and safety and others to ensure the employers and also employees are giving high standards of care at all

    While it was open, Orchid view had a number of adult safeguarding alerts and investigations but no action was taken to improve the care that people were receiving. The CQC carried out an inspection in 2010 and gave a “good” rating to the home, thereby failing to ensure that the risks and harm to people living in the home were addressed. Andrea Sutcliffe, the Care Quality Commission’s chief inspector of adult social care, later admitted that the CQC did not fulfill their purpose of making sure Orchid View provided services to people that were safe, compassionate and high quality. The whistle was blown in August 2011 by an employee who contacted police about the care home’s failings after being informed by a nurse that they had found 28 drug errors in just one night shift. Sussex police launched an investigation and five members of staff were arrested, some on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. However, the Crown Prosecution Service determined that there was insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges and the case was passed Penelope Schofield, the West Sussex coroner, who ordered a serious case review to be carried out into what happened and how to guard against future failings. During this five-week inquest, which concluded in October 2013,it was revealed that residents were underfed, locked in their rooms, given wrong doses of medication, left soiled and unattended due to staff shortages and suffered because of serious failures in the home’s management. Call bells often went unanswered for long periods of time or could…

    All of this would have been the best case scenario, but unfortunately some care homes fall below expectations. Many of the care homes are struggling to meet the patient’s medical needs. Nurses said, according to a report by the BBC in March 2012 that there is often inadequate knowledge and training known when it comes to dementia. In that same month David Cameron declared that dealing with the “scandal” of inadequate knowledge and resources is one of his key points. And Sir Mark Walport, Director of the Welcome Trust, stressed the importance of top social care, “so that patients can be helped to live at home for longer, and so that relatives who care for their loved ones receive the support they need”.…
