A VOLUNTEER banned from a care home for trying to help a resident has branded her exclusion an injustice'.
Janette Timlett had regularly visited Hill House Nursing Home with her dog, Vincent, for almost three years, but she was told by staff three weeks ago that she could not return.
The ban came after a resident at Hill House relayed personal problems to Ms Timlett, who intervened, with the resident's permission. She suggested to the home's managers that an independent social worker might be able help with the issues.
The resident's concerns are believed to relate to a matter being dealt with by Tower Hamlets Social Services, who Ms Timlett contacted on the resident's behalf.
In January, Ms Timlett appeared in the Boreham-wood & Elstree Times after residents commended her and Vincent for their visits and brightening up their days'.
But last month, care home officials met members of the social services team and decided Ms Timlett should not return to the BUPA-run home, in Elstree Hill South, Elstree. The decision was based on her earlier contact with the Tower Hamlets officials.
Ms Timlett said: "It is an injustice to the residents that a few people at Hill House can have such control over a situation like this. It's not just about me and Vincent, but it's the unfairness that's being done to the residents.
