"I just want some closure"

Ive been a carer for my parents for many years, my mum passed away a few years ago and I was the main carer for my dad. He always said he didnt want to go into a care home so I tried to look after him at home. One day he left the tap running upstairs and the water started coming through the ceiling. He started with dementia and his character changed. 

Social care were called to assess him and the decision got took out of my hands informed me he needed 24/7 care in a home. I found a place in Gleadless for £400 per week but Social care said that was no good as he need more care. he was then moved to temp accommodation in Chapeltown then moved to his permanent care home Norton Lees on Warminster Road at a cost of £900 per week in Jan 2020.

He was supposed to have 24/7 care but was left in his room alone a lot of the time and had more falls in 3 months then he ever had while at home. He had 2 plastic hips so needed someone to be with him.

After he had collapsed in his bedroom he was taken to Northern General Hospital and had an operation. He contracted Covid-19 while in hospital and sent home to the care home. None of the staff wore PPE and he was put on palliative care and sadly passed away.

I phoned the care home the day after he died and the receptionist didnt even know he had dies and they had lost all his personal possessions. All I have is his ring off his finger. I feel I have a strong case and would like some closure. I dont feel the care was good enough at this home for 24/7 care.

I never wanted him to go into a care home and neither did my dad, I feel if he was still at home cared for my myself he would still be alive/ Social care took the decision out of my hands.
