Violation Description: The Ombudsman upholds Mrs X's complaint about Fazakerley House Care Home's failure to protect her late mother's possessions. The Care Provider did not follow its own procedures for labelling clothes or keeping records of Mrs Y's belongings. It also failed to follow its own guidance on cleaning and laundry. This caused injustice to Mrs Y as she had to pay to replace the lost and damaged items. To remedy the injustice caused by the faults identified, the Care Provider will pay £536 to Mrs Y's estate. It will also apologise to Mrs X and pay her £100 to remedy the frustration it caused her. Finally, the Care Provider will ensure other residents' files are up to date, personal items are labelled and their laundry is being handled correctly.
