It's been a long time since I've posted on here but have been reading and replying to posts still. Last time I posted myself it was about MH who was getting steadily worse but refusing to do respite. To cut a long story short he eventually did go for 2 weeks just before lockdown, but while there he had couple mini strokes and his vasculer dementia suddenly got much worse, he lost mobility and speech became difficult, so it was agreed that he should stay there permanently. and he settled after a little while, But as time went on the care home couldnt cope with his needs,he developed really severe cellulitis in both his legs, . He has now been transferred to a nursing home, which has been quite difficult as not being g able to go and see it, before he went there, they let me pick one out online and i found which i hope is a good one, I'm having my first visit this week as hes been isolating for 2 weeks and there very strict with visiting and he was bed bound because of very bad cellulitis in his legs. SO sorry for rambling but my reason for my post is MH since hes been in the nursing home has suddenly become incontinent sometimes double incontinent, and they have asked me if I want to buy his pads or shall they and they will invoice me monthly, it would be about £35 a month. I'm quite surprised as I thought a nursing home would supply pads, Is it me expecting too much or is the normal routine for the supply of incontinence pads. When I rang his previous care home they said they never charge the residents for pads
