The coroner's concerns
1. lack of pendant call alarms
“The Court heard the home do not use pendant call alarms. This was described as a business decision. The Home has 18 residents of mixed falls risk but less than half would be of a moderate or high risk of falls. The Court was concerned that for those residents a fixed call bell may not be of assistance, as in this case, as it would be out of reach when required.”
