Dear all,
I am hoping you can advise me. My Mum is in a care home, a specialised dementia wing. She keeps getting UTI's, one after another. She's just finished a course of antibiotics for one, and the symptoms return. Now, we have had quite some arguments with the home in the past over this issue and others but today I am wondering what we can do to help get rid of and prevent these infections from happening. It seems to be an unusual situation and the home are getting annoyed with us keep asking for dip tests and Dr appointments and antibiotics. I have no idea if mum is very unusual for having recurring utis or if the home usually don't bother treating them, or what.
