Hi all, I’m a bit flummoxed and concerned about mum’s nursing home at the minute and I suppose want to vent and check that I’m not being a worry wart. She’s been there just over a month and whilst not content as she wants to be home is settled, she’s there for respite to see if the delirium will lift enough so she can return home. The problem is that for the second day in a row I was approached by mums nurse about her medication running low. Yesterday the nurse in front of mum, told me that one of her meds was low, that she hadn’t realised as the meds were in a blister pack, as it was one that can be purchased I offered to get it, she then returned 20 minutes later with 2 medications written down, the 2nd one is prescription only and is not sold over the counter. When I queried this and explained there was no way I could get it she asked if I had any at home! To which I said no. I suggested she contact mums usual chemist to see if he could help,she asked if I could ring, I said no. She returned, handed me two empty boxes and I went out to the chemist, got the meds and came back. The only reason I did that was because it was nearly 4pm and I knew that the chemists would close soon plus it is a long bank holiday too. Then today the nurse approached me again to say another med was low! This time an anti psychotic med! I was far from pleased and asked what did she expect me to do? I queried the safety of the home, pointed out that they were in charge of meds not me and I was far from pleased. The nurse said that it was hard to get through to the doctors surgery! As if that was why the meds were low, remember this was the 2nd day it happened and doctors don’t open at the weekend here.The nurse manager came( after a care assistant asked me was all ok and I explained no and why. The nurse manager explained that if meds were low then she would phone out of hours doctors to get the meds so there was no risk of mum missing a dose which would be reported to inspectors. I asked why then had I been told 2 days in a row, she said oh just to keep you informed. I said no, I had clearly been asked to get the meds yesterday. I’m really not happy and am worried about mum, she needs her meds in order to keep making progress.
