for 3 days with no medical attention , then

I did the right reseach for a local care home ...

Accidents do happen but the staff at the care home are not medically qualified and so should have had him checked over by either GP or paramedics, Leaving it 3 days is unacceptable in my opinion. From a previous post the manager got sidetracked by the cost issue.
You could also discuss his future care needs with the Social Work Dept at the hospital. Personally I would want him moved and it may be that his needs have changed because of the fall

if you are that worried about him not getting the best medical care you should ask for social services to find him another home or demand an investigation their is an organisation calle csci who can help. i am a care worker and i can only say i put my heart and soul into my job and , we would never neglect anyone medically in my work but sometimes hospital resources are so stretched they encourage the client to be monitored in the residential/ nurseing home they are in
