The court was told a motion sensor had alerted staff that Mr Chapman, who was at risk of falls, was out of bed in the early hours of 14 January 2020 and staff found he had had another fall and had broken his leg.A post-mortem examination concluded his broken leg was a secondary cause of death.Rossendale Nursing Home was shut after it was rated inadequate in 2021
She described how the findings from the CQC investigation and learning there were "a high number of falls in addition to the ones they were aware of were devastating to hear". "I feel mentally scarred as a result of seeing a photograph of my dad with an unexplained black eye looking a shadow of his former self."
Mr Chapman's son, Mark, said outside court they want other families to learn from the loss of their father.
