St Catherine Care Home in Leytonstone The grieving son of an elderly woman discovered in “concerning circumstances” at a Waltham Forest care home called for “major reform”. Daisy Wood died of pneumonia aged 84 on February 21, 2019 after being rushed to hospital from St Catherine Care Home in Leytonstone. East London coroner Nadia Persaud found that staff’s failure to “adequately observe” Ms Wood meant she was unresponsive by the time a doctor was called to see her. Ms Wood was prescribed the anti-anxiety medication Lorazepam earlier that month, after being physically assaulted by a member of staff at the care home caused her psychological distress.
