Tony Stowell says his mother's care home took two days to tell the family they had put her on end-of-life care.
During the first nationwide lockdown in 2020, Tony Stowell was only able to see his mother Antonia through a window at her care homeA man plans to sue a nursing home because, he says, during the pandemic his mother was put on end-of-life care without her family being told.
As a prelude to legal action, Mr Stowell's lawyers have obtained his mother's hospital records which, they say, show she was diagnosed with suspected pneumonia while living in the home. End-of-life drugs were then prescribed and ordered by medical professionals.During the first pandemic lockdown in 2020, Mr Stowell said that although he was not allowed inside, he visited his mother regularly and would see her through a window, but in May that year, she suddenly seemed to deteriorate.
In a statement, Rose Villa said: "We believe that our dedicated and professional team provided Antonia with the very best care under the direction of her GP and medical team, and all proper process in the delivery of this care was followed with precision."Mr Stowell's lawyers, Gulbenkian Andonian solicitors, said his mother's hospital records reveal the decision to put her on end-of-life care was made two days before the family was told.
"Therefore to deviate from that presumption means a patient, or family members, should be consulted as soon as that decision is made or contemplated."
