Margaret Canham died within a few weeks of two other residents of a care home which later closed.
Kim Arden said her grandmother Margaret Canham was "subjected to a catalogue of failings and danger"A coroner has criticised a number of "shortcomings" after the death of a 97-year-old resident of a care home which later closed down over failures.
The inquest into the death of Mrs Canham has been the first of three to be heard this week at Peterborough Town Hall, preceding those of other residents George Lowlett and David Poole.Mrs Canham's granddaughter Kim Arden said her grandmother had been "subjected to a catalogue of failings and danger" and that since her death she had been "lied" to.
In her findings, the coroner said that on 11 February the health of Mrs Canham, who had dementia, "was broadly stable".She said on 13 February "there were red flags or indicators of concern". The inquest heard that the home had four different sheets where information could be logged on individuals.Image caption,While HC-One had policies in place, she also found that there was "no effective use" of an early warning scoring system at the home.
A spokesperson for HC-One said: "We are clear that The Elms should have provided the right standard of care to Mrs Canham, and all residents at the home, but the management and record-keeping we had in place at the time fell far short of everyone's expectations.
