A man in his 80s suffered four falls in eight days and broke his hip in a care home before council bosses ordered a safeguarding review.

He had been placed at Bradwell Court in Congleton, Cheshire, after being released from hospital where he was detained under the Mental Health Act.

His family reported concerns both about his wellbeing and one of his carers.

Stockport Council failed to respond appropriately to the complaints, the social care ombudsman concluded.

The council, which had arranged the care, apologised and said it had taken "immediate action" in line with the ombudsman's recommendations, the[size=inherit] Local Democracy Reporting Service[/size] said.

I think it shows that people aren't vetted enough,  the person in question who failed to be professional - allegedly - should be investigated and if find culpable should never work with vulnerable people again.
