Please find our latest statement:
Given ongoing media speculation about the major incident in Swanage, and Agincare’s national presence as a long-standing and trusted provider of care to thousands of people across the country, we feel it is necessary to publicly reassure those who are employed by us and those who draw on our care, ahead of any conclusion to either the police investigation or the multi-agency team review.
In relation to the care home in question, as with all of our other homes, evidence of the required gas safety checks and other related statutory checks by third-party contractors, has been provided to the necessary authorities. An independent expert review of these areas has also been undertaken for us in the home in question.
We continue to take our provider responsibilities very seriously and are fully cooperating with all investigations. Our thoughts remain with the families of the deceased and indeed all residents, families and team members affected by this incident.
