Neglect contributed to nursing home deaths, coroner finds

The deaths of five residents at the scandal-hit Brithdir nursing home in South Wales were contributed to by neglect, a coroner has ruled.
Assistant Gwent Coroner Geraint Williams recorded narrative conclusions for June Hamer, 71, Stanley Bradford, 76, Edith Evans, 85, Evelyn Jones, 87, and William Hickman, 71.
He said a sixth resident, Stanley James, 89, had died from natural causes.
The inquest in Newport, Gwent heard the pensioners all died between 2003 and 2005 having been residents at the nursing home in New Tredegar.

In a lengthy summing up, Mr Williams gave a withering summary of a catalogue of failings – accusing managers of “dehumanising” and “warehousing” the elderly.
