    Kenneth Cottam, an 89-year-old resident of Coxbench Hall Residential Home, sustained a subdural bleed after one of two reported falls and died in hospital on 13 April 2016. The court heard that no falls risk assessment was carried out and that staff did not consider a possible link between his confusion and an earlier fall, while concerns were raised about the clarity, robustness and consistent implementation of falls prevention and management procedures.
