Investigation reports

An investigation into the care of a patient in Antrim Care Home found failings relating to the administration and recording of medicines, and in the way it responded to the patient’s panic attack.

An investigation has concluded that the care plans prepared for a resident of a nursing home in Armagh were largely adequate, but that it had underestimated the resident’s risk of a fall, and that it was inconsistent in its assessment of his mental state.

An investigation has revealed that a nursing home failed to fully record its observations of a resident's head injury following a fall, and did not call an ambulance to take him to hospital until almost eight hours after the incident.
