The complaints centred on the alleged actions of former manager Jillian Jones. It is believed about half a dozen complaints were made to the council about the former manager and her actions at the rest-home. Three personal grievances were made against the management of the rest-home and other complaints made against the actions of management. Allegations included bullying of staff, poor management of patients and the conduct of management during an assisted-dying procedure that occurred at the rest-home.
