Two nurses placed at the Beach Court Care Home, Aberdeen, face separate charges of misconduct. And for this, they have to appear before the Nursing and Midwifery Council committee in Edinburgh on 9 January 2012.

The Scottish care home, which is headed by Four Seasons Health Care, specializes in care being provided to people suffering from dementia. Two nurses, Faye Wilson and Ma Jenny Quinto are being charged for not showing professional behavior over a patient’s death.

Wilson is charged for not assessing the patient when she knew that patient’s health was deteriorating for last 48 hours. Even when he was in dining room, she felt something was wrong but then also she did not bother to give see him.

She lied to patient’s daughter that she seems her father was not well, but at that she knew he has already died. So she not only acted as per her stature but also lied and is blamed for being dishonest.

In patient’s medical record, she again lied and wrote he died inside bed. But that was not the case as he has died in dining room. Second nurse, Quinto is blamed for brining the patient down at a time when she knew he was not well to be taken out of the bed.

She is also charged for not assessing his medical records. If she would have seen then Wilson could not have written the wrong report. It is also said that both the nurses had a verbal argument in front of staff and other patients’ families.

This kind of attitude is not accepted in care homes where vulnerable elderly patients are admitted. So both the nurses face this common charge for fighting in front of others in the care home. Inspection report concluded that the care home needs lot of improvements and good leadership.
