Summary: We will not investigate Mr C’s complaint about the removal of funding for his mother’s care home fees. We are unlikely to find fault by the NHS provider and Council on the key issues.

The Old Library Residential Home (24 015 586b)
Statement Upheld Community hospital services 15-Jan-2026
Summary: Mrs K complained about the way Care Plus Group moved her husband, Mr H, to The Old Library Residential Home. We consider CPG acted with fault when it moved him, which caused her distress and frustration. The Old Library then did not use the right equipment to transfer Mr H. It also caused Mrs K uncertainty from its poor record keeping. The CPG and The Old Library have agreed to apologise and take action to remedy her injustice.
