Jack Molyneux

1. 1. significant weight loss and lack of mobility support

   “He was never helped to mobilise or to maintain the good mobility which he had when he came into hospital. He was never offered to have his outdoor clothes and perhaps to be assisted to go down to the hospital shop to buy a newspaper which was something he used to do every day before he came into hospital. He lost 20% of his bodyweight in the one calendar month when he was in hospital and absolutely no note was taken of this and he wasn't referred to the dieticians until he had been in hospital”

2. 2. poor oral care and lost dentures

   “His mouth was in such an appalling state when he moved to his nursing home that the nursing home immediately raised a safeguarding alert on the grounds of neglect. His dentures were lost and his mouth was in such a poor state that the staff, on Vallance Ward, were unaware that he even had a lower plate in his mouth.”

3. 3. lack of personal hygiene and mental stimulation

   “there was no evidence whatsoever that he was ever offered a bath or shower in the four weeks of his admission. There was no evidence whatsoever that any form of stimulation was provided. There was a television by his bed but no evidence that anybody ever discussed with him whether he might like to watch anything on it.”
