Hi all
Don't spose any of you remember me, it's been awhile now, MIL sadley passed away 3yrs ago, and some of you may remember we are going through Aunties hell with her now, thankfully she is far happier than MIL was and is coping well in her nursing home, which is brilliant. Our problem is what is considered part of the care package? stupid question but we are receiving bills for Chiropodist (OK accepted that one its necessary and needed) BUT at 95 does she have to have her hair shampood and set every single week? I have spoken to the nursing home and explained our money is not bottomless and the extras are causing quite a strain on us, as we are having to help with her fees being self funded and requested that perhaps it could be left awhile inbetween or even hair washed during her bath period, previously when she was at home I used to wash hair for her and would be happy to do so if they would let me, but all our comments pass by without consideration, and the next bill arrives! Am I being nit picking and mean? and have others come up against this problem? I hate to rock the boat and complain harder, but money is tight for all of us just now.
