Violation Description: Mrs Y complains about the care delivered to her husband, Mr Y, while resident at St Thomas Nursing home. We find fault because of poor record keeping and a failure to evidence that staff administered a prescribed toothpaste at the required frequency. We also find the home failed to evidence the outcomes of monthly reviews undertaken regarding Mr Y's fall risk. We find these failures created distress and uncertainty for Mrs Y which the provider will remedy with a symbolic payment of £500.
