    All of this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for Alison Taylor, a manager of a care home in Gwynedd, listened to children who had transferred from other care homes and she believed them and took it up with her manager. Then after a long wait but no evidence of anything happening she took matters to the police but to no prevail as there were no prosecutions which was greeted by ‘inappropriate enthusiasm’ by social services.…

    A former worker at the home said he had witnessed abuse and neglect of residents during his time there, there was an incident where a certain member of staff was sitting on a resident, was quite challenging, the former worker should have reported this immediately at the time it took place. There was another incident that involved an elderly lady Mrs Jarvis who moved to the home in February 2011, who required specialist care and suffered from dementia with instructions stating that she should not be left alone because she was likely to fall, which according to a letter sent from the centre’s manager to the lady’s family read that Mrs Jarvis was left unattended during a shift change, she got up and fell and broke her hip and it was two hours before the staff called the emergency services.…

    Marie had never been introduced to Richard and did not know the extent of care he required. Marie felt very uncomfortable and upset that she was not told or shown how to provide the correct level of personal care, this is unacceptable because if Marie is feeling uncomfortable then Richard may also feel uncomfortable or embarrassed which is unacceptable as he should be made to feel as comfortable as possible in his own home. Staff members were making jokes and laughing about Richard to Marie which is unacceptable in a care setting as it can be seen as abuse. Many different types of abuse can happen in a residential care home; verbal, physical, and mental or psychological abuse is seen as unacceptable, if people are found to be abusing a resident in any way then they can lose their job. To avoid this type of behaviour, there should be documents about the consequences of these actions, also verbal and written warnings should be given to any staff member who abuses a resident or another member of…

    This culture of fear can be seen in article written by Hayes solicitors on ‘The Downside for “whistleblowing” employees in the health sector’. The article details how five employees of the Avondale Nursing Home in County Kilkenny were found by the Employment Appeals Tribunal to have been constructively dismissed in 2009 by their employer after raising their concerns over the welfare of elderly patients at the Nursing Home. The article goes on to further detail how the “whistleblowing” employees have gone on to suffer financial loss as a result of losing their jobs and their willingness to try and address the practices that were existing within the nursing home at the time. The nursing home in question has since closed when it was taken over by the HSE because…

    This case is much closer to home; in fact it is just round the corner from us and had always been considered one of the most expensive and smart care homes in Bournemouth. This case caused quite a lot of gossip around the local care community, but in its way is no different to Winterbourne, just because it was money and no violence was involved does not make the case any less more terrible, in fact in many ways it is worse. The manager took the residents money to help herself out of financial problems, I am not sure how it was discovered, but in one article it mentioned that the manager had or did or was receiving treatment at St Anne’s hospital for mental problems, well, first if this is an ingoing problem how did she get the job, if she’s receiving treatment now it’s obvious its only because she was find out, let’s be honest, if she had not been found out it would probably still be going on, the amount taken were constant but small, small enough to say that the resident had been mistaken or had spent it or lost it, something like that really makes fools of the residents and puts them in a horrible position where no one believes them, immediately people would stereo-type the residents. E.g. poor old Mrs… lost some money. Mrs… always thinks she has more money than she has, and so on, this is terrible, imagine how that resident feels, when no one believes them, it must also be difficult for the families, the home is so very smart and beautiful it would be hard for anyone to imagine that there family members money was being stolen. I am glad that the case went to court , the manager deserves to receive a sentence that reflect how serious it is to steal an elderly, poorly persons money, and also a resident who is on your care and one who depends on you to insure their life remains as comfortable and as safe as they only deserved. A case like this would be difficult for the staff to understand, they would probably find it difficult to blame…
