HOW WAS NANCY HURT LIKE THIS?

FAMILY WANT ANSWERS OVER GRAN BRUISES

- RYAN CARROLL

A GRIEVING family have been left searching for answers after a gran suffered serious facial injuries at her care home before she died.

Agnes Donnelly, known as Nancy, passed away months after the 89-year-old was left with a badly bruised face at Broomfield Court Care Home in Glasgow.

In October 2021, Nancy's daughter Glynn discovered the injuries when she went for her weekly routine visit.

The family say the home had not reported an incident or alerted them.

Nancy, who had dementia, died from pneumonia in January 2022. The home shut five months later.

Her family say they have never received a proper explanation for what happened to her face.

Nancy's son Colin, 65, says he believes she was neglected.

He told the Record: "We are still very angry about the awful conditions our mum must have lived in during the last year of her life.

"The home didn't care for her the way they should have done. When we visited, we could see she wasn't clean and looked like she wasn't being looked after.
