The report, which concerns serious misconduct, describes how a demented elderly person may have been left without food for eleven days in 2021. According to the report, there were eleven unopened lunch boxes in the care recipient's refrigerator.
Garbage and broken drains
In addition, the home care service must have failed to wash the person, even though there is a decision about this.
In addition, rubbish must have been left with the home care worker for too long and the drain must have been broken.
Lena Thor, who is head of administration, writes in an email to SVT that there is disagreement between the report and the current home care staff about the lunch boxes.
An internal investigation that has been done has shown that it was not possible to determine how it was at the time in question, in addition, the nurse in charge has said that there were no signs of weight loss in the care recipient.
Several serious shortcomings
In its IVO report, the administration writes that there are a number of shortcomings regarding the care recipient, including documentation, working methods and collaboration with relatives.
The fact that interventions are not carried out in accordance with decisions and that the business does not have a consensus and working method around the individual is assessed by the administration as a serious misconduct.
