An elderly man's stepdaughter was not allowed to spend proper time with him before he died because Rotherham Council decided at face value she was a risk, following a safeguarding referral, the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman has found.
The warning comes after Hamilton Care Ltd failed to provide a solicitor with relevant financial records for his client. The solicitor had been appointed to act for the woman by the court as the woman's dementia meant she was not able to look after her finances herself.
We look at individual complaints about local public services and all registerable social care providers in England.
We remedy injustice and share learning from investigations to improve services. When we find a council or care provider has done something wrong, we recommend how it should put it right. We are free to use and make our decisions independently.
