🚨 **Police Investigate Neglect Concerns at Blaenavon Care Home** 🚨
Residents of Arthur Jenkins care home in Blaenavon are being relocated amid serious concerns over safety and care standards. Gwent Police have launched an investigation into potential neglect after troubling inspection reports revealed that some staff weren’t properly trained, and residents were unsafe. 🕵️♂️
The Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) identified significant issues in May, and a follow-up in August showed only limited progress. The council has halted new admissions as they seek alternative accommodations for the current residents, echoing that the home run by Spectrum Healthcare isn’t safe at the moment. 🏡❌
Inspector Shelley Comley from Gwent Police stated, “We take these reports very seriously.” Officers are actively investigating, so if you have any information, please step forward. 🚔
Torfaen Council is working closely with families and healthcare professionals to ensure a smooth transition for the residents. Councillor David Daniels reassures, “The safety and wellbeing of residents is our absolute priority.”
Spectrum Healthcare is committing to addressing the issues, and improvements are on the way, with a follow-up inspection expected soon. Let’s hope for a positive change! 🌟
Stay tuned for more updates and let’s hope the residents soon find the care they truly deserve. ❤️
