My dad has finally left the world's most uncaring home and there last words to him were glad I won't have to put you in a hoist again! My father can't do anything for himself so has to rely on the carers help they were supposed to be the best home around! They left him like a dog lying on mattresses in his room and shut the door he had no stimulation know one sat and spoke to him or took the time every day he had mire bruises or ripped clothes. My mum complained and was told she had 28 days to move him elsewhere. He can not sit in a chair as falls out but they couldn't get a special bucket chair! Which would help him sit and eat in 6 weeks he lost nearly 2 stone. So today my mum went to the home to finally pack up his things as he was moving to a new home the ambulance was late to transport him they never offered my mum a drink in the 4 hours she was there waiting neither did they offer her a chair to sit in she had to perch on the bed until a friend turned up and demanded a chair for her I feel happy now that I have viewed new home and grilled them on my dad's needs as I live 240 miles away my poor mum has not had it easy seeing him lying like a dog in his room shouting and screaming I am sure he was just scared of the staff as even on a good day he would say thank you for something to them and they would ignore him.

Thank you so far so good carer sat with dad at moment as scared of the fireworks funny though my dad used to love them. As I said to my mum earlier a new chapter starting fresh and we shall be dealing with old care home keep you posted on that x
I'm not surprised that your dad is scared by the fireworks. Too much stimulation of any type can induce anxiety.
