Hi all
My dad is lashing out at hospital staff. He’s spat at nurses and attempted to bite them. His language is also disgusting he’s like a rabid dog. I am mortified and feel physically sick.
He can can hardly move and he’s very stiff and curled up in a ball. He’s been in a wheelchair for 4 years. He only lashes out during personal care. He will scream and swear at the slightest touch if he doesn’t know it’s coming. He reacts like he’s been punched. I can’t see a care home putting up with it. He’s been a practicing catholic all his life and would never swear at a woman. Don’t get me wrong he’s never been angel but he was always a gentleman.
Is there anyway to moderate this behaviour I really feel for the nurses and care workers and he would be so ashamed. X
