Jewel Home Care Under Fire Again

Jewel Home Care in Leicester remains under special measures after a damning inspection revealing staff “double padding” residents with incontinence pads — a dangerous practice that heightens risks of pressure sores and skin breakdown. This isn’t their first brush with regulators; they were placed under special measures in December for similar failings. The latest report, released June 1, confirms the service is still inadequate in safety and leadership, with no improvements in critical areas like medication management, care escalation, or long-term condition monitoring — including for patients on blood thinners who fell without documented risk assessments. Despite claims of progress, inspectors found no real change, leaving vulnerable residents exposed to serious harm. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
