Mother of Jermaine Found Dead Days Later in Care Home: 'No One Knew When She Was Last Seen'
Jermaine Bommel discovered that his 69-year-old mother lay dead in her Sliedrecht care home for five to nine days before being found, with staff unable to confirm when she was last seen alive. Despite previous warnings in her file noting the risk of patients lying unattended, and missed medical appointments, no one checked on her until it was too late. Bommel spent months reviewing records instead of mourning, finding discrepancies between the care provider's internal investigation and his own findings. Although the health inspectorate deemed the facility's inquiry sufficient, Bommel continues to seek accountability to prevent similar tragedies for other vulnerable patients.
