A care home has been fined over £1 million after a resident tragically chocked to death while eating alone. Their care plan required close supervision during meals, yet staff left them unattended for 20 minutes. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) confirmed this death was entirely preventable and highlighted failures in staff awareness of care plans and maintaining the right skills mix on shift.

This could happen to you – don’t let it! If care plans aren’t followed or staff aren’t trained, the consequences can be devastating for residents and for your organisation.
