Family of a man who developed a massive bedsore say he died a 'horrible' death.
Rick loved to sing with his son Kevin, and enjoyed anything from Roger Whittaker to Vera LynnAn 88-year-old man with dementia was given 10 times his usual dosage of medication two times a day for a week in July 2022, his family has claimed.
Then one day, Kevin Collinson noticed he was unresponsive and "incapacitated" and said he told staff he believed the drugs were to blame.Kevin said a week later he received an email from someone at the care home who informed them that the care home had overdosed him "with an anti-psychotic drug".Kevin's sister Rhian Collinson said: "In the time dad had been bedridden, he had developed the most awful bedsore. Dad's heel was the size of a boiled egg.
One week when Rhian came to visit, the siblings got Rick out of the bed and into a chair, which they say was not a pressure-sensitive mattress as it should have been if a patient was bedbound. Kevin said he did not blame the individual staff members because "when you're under intense pressure, we can make mistakes" and believes the responsibility laid with the owners of the business.
In a call between the family to the council on 24 March, the family were included in a conversation about the case.
