A coroner has told a care home it suffers from a “cultural problem” after a patient died shortly after falling from her bed twice in the space of a week.

Sonia Sore, 84, fell onto the floor at North Court Care Home in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on October 14 2023 after the right handrail on her bed was not raised.
