Been told that we can no longer feed my mum any food unless the carers do it is this wrong as they dont give enough time and effort in doing it
Feeding mum

Told there insuarance does not cover family or agencey carers feeding residents only fully trained care uk carers can give them food and drink thats out of order being doing it for the last two years now if I bring food in or my mum I have the right to feed it to her
Hello Jelba - gosh I find you post shocking. I go in at lunch time to feed my mum. As daft as it sounds I find it comforting as it feels like I am helping my mum like she has always helped me. The staff at mums NH never once said no and actually encourage it. I personally would be both upset and angry if I was told I couldnt xx
Can feed her but got to sigh a document saying if we feed her food and she chokes we are responsable for that action and not the care home but if she is very sleepy then no one can feed her
Sounds fair enough. Sign the paper, and feed her with care.
It does sound like there is an issue somewhere and they a tightening up on 'who and what''.
I asked before- Is she on a special diet? If you are taking food in from outside make sure its spot on appropriate- I am sure people take in totally inapropriate thing sometimes, but to lack of understanding, so as long as what you take is appropriate , and stored correctly there shouldn't be an issue.

She on a puree diet only bring in mouses and milk shakes and use thickner for drinks as well which sometimes the carers forget about themselves
