Police are investigating a care home after allegations that a resident was given a noxious substance. The GMP inquiry is centred on Glenhomes in Bolton, which has recently had two consecutive damning reports by a watchdog.
Detectives visited the premises in August after receiving information from a whistleblower who also alerted the Care Quality Commission. Two members of staff have been arrested.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police’s Bolton district said: “We are investigating allegations relating to a care home in Bolton, following a report of concerns made in August 2022. Two people have been arrested on suspicion of administering a noxious substance and neglect.
