The Perth aged care facility at the centre of a major crime squad investigation into abuse allegations has been sanctioned by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.
After conducting a surprise visit to the Regis Nedlands nursing home on January 20, the Commission decided there was an immediate and severe risk to the health, safety or wellbeing of the elderly people living there, Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner Janet Anderson said.
Resident Dik Lee, 94, died one day after the visit after being in a coma for five days at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.
Mr Lee, who had dementia, was admitted to hospital within days of university students on work experience at Regis Nedlands allegedly witnessing the great-grandfather being dragged along the floor while sitting in his own faeces and a staffer wrenching him up by standing on his toes.
