Criminal investigation launched into UK care home where staff abused woman

Secret camera footage last year showed Ann King being taunted, shouted at and roughly handled at Reigate Grange in Surrey

A criminal investigation has been launched into a luxury care home in Surrey where Ann King, an 88-year-old resident, was abused by staff in a case that shocked the country.

The Care Quality Commission, which regulates social care in England, announced the investigation into Reigate Grange 11 months after the Guardian broadcast distressing secret camera footage of staff taunting, shouting at and roughly handling the former nurse who was living with dementia. King died in October 2022 after her children took her back home in March 2022 in disgust at her treatment.
