Prestatyn pensioner ‘lucky to be alive' after care home fall
Matthew Heeley, who was on holiday in Spain at the time, believes his 82-year-old father, Frank, is 'very lucky to be alive' after falling at Carr Holm residential home at about 1am on May 12. Mr Heeley also had to wait for an ambulance to arrive at the home for about seven hours, before then waiting in the vehicle outside Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Bodelwyddan until space in the hospital became available for him. Both Carr Holm and the Welsh Ambulance Service apologised to Mr Heeley, who suffers from advanced dementia and poor mobility, and his family. Liz Wedley, head of service at the Welsh Ambulance Service, said: 'We are deeply sorry about Mr Heeley's experience, which was no doubt an anxious wait for help. 'We would encourage Mr Heeley or a representative to contact our Putting Things Right team to understand their experience and investigate what happened.' Bruce Moore, who has been managing director of Carr Holm since 2020, said he feels 'very sorry' for Mr Heeley's family, but said he believes his staff had 'done all we can'. Carr Holm, Prestatyn (Image: GoogleMaps) Mr Moore labelled it a 'serious and unfortunate accident', but said he is willing to work with Mr Heeley's family to try to prevent this incident from happening again at the home. Matthew said: 'My dad has had a few falls at home, so requires constant assistance to help him move about and stop him from falling. 'I had a family holiday booked, so decided to put my dad into Carr Holm for respite care for a week while I was away, rather than leave him at home with my mum, Sandra. 'My mum is 74 and has her own medical issues, so I felt it would be safer to put him in respite while I was on holiday.' 'Unfortunately, after only two days in respite care, my dad had a serious fall on his head which resulted in trauma.' Matthew cut short his holiday to be with his father, who had suffered extensive facial damage and a bleed on his brain which needed immediate surgery. He was transferred from Glan Clwyd to the specialist neurology department at the Royal Stoke University Hospital to carry out this procedure, which took place early on May 15. It took nearly seven hours for the ambulance to get to the care home – 'bearing in mind he was bleeding all the time' - then Mr Heeley spent five to six hours in the ambulance arriving at Glan Clwyd. The surgery was a success, and Mr Heeley is now recovering in Stoke hospital – because of his dementia, he is unaware of what has happened. READ MORE: 'They were well aware of my dad's condition and poor mobility. I had made them aware that my dad was a 'falls risk' and that he'd had a few falls at home. 'I don't believe they provided my dad with one on one care and were watching him 24/7. Otherwise, this would not have happened. 'A falls risk assessment should have been carried out. They claim two members of staff were with my dad at the time of the fall, yet I fail to see how this is possible and how he was not prevented from falling. 'My dad is very lucky to still be alive. The whole experience has been very stressful and traumatic to me and my mum, and I feel Carr Holm have failed in their duty of safeguarding my dad.' Matthew added that he has submitted a formal complaint in writing to the home. In response, Mr Moore said: 'We are clearly very distressed by what has happened. Our staff are the most wonderful, caring staff you could imagine. 'Our initial assessment is that we had done all we can, and had followed of all the correct procedures. Risk assessments and care plans were done, and they were acted upon. It looks like this was a really serious and unfortunate accident. 'If I were a family member, I'd feel aggrieved at what has happened. I do feel very sorry for the family. It should have been a home away from home for Mr Heeley - they feel they have been let down, and I can understand that 'We've been really proud of Carr Holm. We've invested a lot in it, and our staff are brilliant. 'I have been reassured that we have done what we should have done… (but) of course, that doesn't help the family. 'The ideal scenario is that we get out heads together, see what we could have done better, and use that to reduce the risk of this outcome happening in the future.'

James Gunn's Superman plot eerily similar to this scene from Shaktimaan? Fans think so
James Gunn's much-awaited Superman reboot has taken the internet by storm with its recently-released trailer. While DC fans across the globe are dissecting every frame of the video, eagle-eyed Indian fans were quick to point out something rather unexpected — the similarities between Superman's plot and an episode from India's iconic superhero show from the 90s, Shaktimaan. (Also Read: With the box office down, James Gunn predicts summer of 'Superman' to the rescue) On May 15, the much-anticipated trailer of James Gunn's Superman was released. It begins with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) interviewing Superman (David Corenswet). She is heard saying, 'You've come under a lot of fire…' — referencing the intense public scrutiny Superman has been facing. She further informs him that the Defence Secretary will be looking into his actions, to which Superman responds, 'My actions? I stopped a war!' The trailer then shows Superman in full costume, standing on a battlefield, with the revelation that his actions involved illegally entering a foreign country to stop a conflict. He is later seen being arrested for it. Now, fans speculating about the film's plot have drawn parallels with a scene from the Indian show Shaktimaan. The particular episode shows Shaktimaan stopping a bank robbery and catching the thieves. However, instead of being praised, he is interrogated by police officers who question whether he has the authority to act as a saviour — much like Superman is questioned about stopping a war. Shaktimaan is also asked whether he has a licence to fly and is further grilled about his source of income. Sharing the similarities, an Instagram user wrote, 'James Gunn copied the storyline from Shaktimaan episode 114.' A post shared by Things (@wednesday_thing.s) Fans were quick to share their reactions. One internet user wrote, 'This is perfect (laughing emoji).' Another commented, 'Now I understand why every superhero wants to hide their true identity.' A third wrote, 'Shaktimaan was way ahead of its time.' However, some users defended Superman, noting that Shaktimaan was itself inspired by Western superheroes. 'Shaktimaan copied Superman episodes. It hurt when I found out growing up, but it was still nice to have had the series,' said one. Another added, 'And Shaktimaan copied it from the Lois & Clark show.' The superhero television series, created and produced by Mukesh Khanna, starred him as the titular hero who gained superhuman abilities through meditation and mastery of the five elements of nature. The show was immensely popular and is remembered for its cultural impact, particularly among children. The upcoming American superhero film marks the first instalment in the new DC Universe (DCU) and serves as a reboot of the Superman film series. Written, directed and co-produced by James Gunn, the film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced. It is scheduled to release in cinemas on July 11.
