    Report summary

    Dennis Geoffrey Oldland was found at home with a significant burn injury after being left partially clothed in an armchair near a fire following a care visit lasting approximately seven and a half minutes. He later suffered a stroke and died on 14 December 2016; the medical cause of death included stroke, advanced frailty and burn injury. The principal concern was that care workers might leave vulnerable service users prematurely, without sufficient interaction to identify risks or welfare concerns.

    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to ensure care workers remain for the expected duration of visits

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) a. A care worker – who was an impressive witness and clearly trying to assist the court - gave evidence at the inquest and when asked if there were circumstances in which her view could justify a visit to a service user lasting less than the allotted time period responded on the basis that such visits can be justified if the care worker’s tasks have been completed, has assessed how the service user is, and if the service user appears content for the carer to depart. b. I have a concern that limiting the amount of interaction creates a risk that a potential risk or a concern about the service user’s welfare may go unnoticed. c. In contrast, were carers to ensure they overserve vulnerable service users and remain at the location for the expected duration of the visit, then a potentially concerning issue is more likely to come to the carer’s attention and they can respond appropriately. d. In summary I have a concern that carers may leave a service user’s home prematurely, confident that the service user appears well, but in reality unaware of an issue that would have, with more time and interaction, become apparent. ”
