SA's health services watchdog delivers a damning report into the care of a man with a disability found with infected wounds and in his own excrement while being cared for in a state government facility.
The T2H program provides short-term temporary accommodation for people with disabilities awaiting permanent housing, after being discharged from hospital.
"I am disappointed that the care of a consumer living with a disability is again under scrutiny," he said. According to the report, the client was admitted to the Royal Adelaide Hospital on January 22, after suffering a fall outside his family home. "Client Progress Records indicate Mr D was not showered on any occasion while at T2H and only received bed baths."
"I am pleased these recommendations are being taken seriously by DHS and either have been implemented or are in the process of being implemented. This should avoid the type of situation happening in the future."
