A GRAN who choked to death while eating cheese on toast was 'not adequately monitored' by care home staff in line with the care plan, a coroner has ruled.
Yvonne Grainger died in hospital on November 13, 2021.
She had been rushed there by paramedics the day before after she began choking on her evening meal, Manchester Coroners Court heard.
Yvonne, a 76-year-old grandmother, had been a resident at the Seymour Care Home, on North Road in Clayton, for just under a fortnight when the tragic incident occurred. Her family said she was 'taken way too soon, adding they will 'miss her hugs and giggles!
A pre-assessment care plan was put in place for Yvonne after she moved in on November 1, staff said.
In the initial plan, a reference was made to Yvonne having 'issues' with eating, namely coughing while she tried to swallow. That prompted staff to make a referral to the Speech and Language Therapy Team over her difficulties swallowing. However, a formal assessment was not carried out before she died.
