An aged care facility where a carer allegedly strangled a resident was given an audit exemption by the federal regulator just one month earlier, despite previous non-compliance with patient care standards.
Multiple Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (ACQSC) reports seen by the ABC showed Baptistcare Bethel in Albany, about 420 kilometres south-east of Perth, had gaps in medication management and wound care and had failed to use appropriate restraints in some instances.
