Coroner's Concerns
1. Mrs Lashley's mobility care plan was not updated in response to developments in her care needs - specifically the need to observe her more frequently than once per hour.
2. Progress notes created by nursing and care staff did not accurately reflect the frequency of checks carried out on Mrs Lashley.
