An elderly nursing home resident was so neglected by staff that he was left looking like an inmate in a prisoner of war camp, his daughter told an inquest.
Stanley Bradford, 76, died just three months after moving to the Brithdir Nursing Home, New Tredegar, South Wales in 2005.
The former miner had lived at a residential home for three years but moved because of his declining health.

An inquest in Newport, Gwent, is hearing evidence into the deaths of seven residents of the care home between 2003 and 2005, some of whom suffered from dehydration, malnourishment, and pressure sores.
The father of five moved to Brithdir in June 2005 and died on September 29 that year, Assistant Coroner Geraint Williams was told.

Mr Bradford s youngest daughter, Gaynor Evans, told the hearing he deteriorated rapidly during the short time he lived there. Dad was very quiet and withdrawn there. He didn t look happy at all. We would go in and we wouldn t see anybody at all, she said.
