Care home neglect led to elderly woman's death

Josephine Tucker, 79, died two days after being found screaming on the floor of St Georges Care Home in Leicester. Her family claims they discovered serious care failings, including multiple falls and pressure sores, after initiating a civil action against the home. The family alleges that Josephine's care records showed significant gaps, with no evidence of medical attention following her falls. Prime Life Limited, which operates the care home, has agreed to pay damages but has not apologized or admitted liability. An inspection by the Care Quality Commission found that St Georges required improvement due to insufficient staffing. The home later received a good rating in a subsequent inspection.
