Milomia: I am so so sorry to hear of your dad's treatment. I was advised a while ago now that "He who shouts. shouts loudest" and believe me I have shouted :) I can only say that you need to contact...

Tracey: I agree with you the system is so unfair. It seems the best way to be is to spend every penny you have because you get the same level of care wether you are private or funded by the NHS,...

Jeany, if it is any consolation when I was looking after my dad, I would be there sometimes 12 hours a day. He would have a good meal, I would take him out, make sure he had a bath, flat was clean...
