Residents at a care home were "dehumanised" by staff and the standards of care were "wholly inadequate", an inquest has found.
The deaths of six residents at Brithdir Nursing Home from 2003-2005 in New Tredegar, Caerphilly, eventually triggered a police investigation.
Coroner Geraint Williams said residents were "warehoused", meaning they are "simply kept, fed and watered".
The evidence suggested "even the feeding and watering was inadequate".
Stanley James, 89, June Hamer, 71, Stanley Bradford, 76, Edith Evans, 85, Evelyn Jones, 87, and William Hickman, 71 were all residents at the home.
