Yesterday I watched this programme, yesterday i wept both out of pity, anger and being frightened and frustrated.
It was quite obvious she had no capability of making a cup of tea yet they still persisted until the tea bag went into her mouth.
It was quite clear she needed continuing care but had to fight all the way to get it which as we know is the case seen so very often all, over the UK .
But what shone out most was the love of one daughter towards her mother and how hard she worked to give her mum the best she could, so often seen but never heard about across the world.
DOWNSIDE
The portrayal of the care assistants was appalling as it was about the NHS, (BOTH HUGE HEROES IN MY EYE`S) You could FEEL the frustration coming out of the care assistant lady when she explained how dedicated they were despite being up against terrible odds, also replicated worldwide, and to cast a NHS worker as someone as cold and uncaring as they did was unforgivable in my humble opinion, i am not saying there is not anybody like her out there but DEAR GOD and thankfully they are few and far between.
Yes it showed the struggles but not in the realistic light i thought it would, and talking about realistic i have a question for you all in the UK
As the end of the programme, it came across that she got continuing care for the FULL £700.00 a week and got the care home for mum she wanted ????
I Have NEVER KNOWN this to happen involving so much money per week anywhere without there being a Top-up
HAVE YOU ???
