Hi all
My father is in a care home with dementia. He can no longer walk and is in a wheelchair.
Today I had a call from the care home saying he is confined to bed because he has a pressure sore. I have recently made a complaint to the care home because he was left alone in his room to feed himself and I found him playing with his food and found it really upsetting. Now I’m even more worried that he has a pressure sore. I don’t think they move him around very often and that’s probably why he got the pressure sore. Should I be worried?
