Family left 'confused and angry' after inquest finds no staff were around when Northampton great-grandmother suffered fall

Family left 'confused and angry' after inquest finds no staff were around when Northampton great-grandmother suffered fall There were no staff to help when a 79-year-old great-grandmother fell from her chair in a Northampton care home and suffered catastrophic injuries, an inquest has heard.

Valerie Mary Hawksworth - who was paralysed on one side from a stroke and battling dementia - was found facedown on the floor in a communal living room at Argyle House care home after she fell out of her reclining chair, broke both wrists and suffered a bleed on the brain.

She died 10 days later at Northampton General Hospital surrounded by her family on May 29, 2018. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
