Inquest probes Rotherham care home neglect claim

THE family of a 94-year-old grandmother were giving evidence today at an inquest to determine whether neglect played any part in her death five years ago.

Molly Darby died four weeks after moving into The Beeches care home in Wath—which has now been taken over by a new company—in July, 2007.

The home denied any wrongdoing. But Rotherham Borough Council carried out an investigation and concluded there had been “neglect by omission.”

The inquest is expected to last two days.
