Hi all. Haven't been on here for a while. Mum has now been in her care home for a year. The home is great and the staff wonderful. I have had a few issues - sleeping and showers in the main! I spend hours with my Mum taking her out and spending time in the home. I think the manager wasn't sure about me at first but had realised I just enjoy being with my Mum and want to have time with her while I'm able. We still have some niggles. I want to help and I think she would prefer it if I left throngs to them.
Anyway I have 2 sisters who visit a couple of hours each twice a week and a brother who lives in Spain who only visits occasionally. My problem is the manager has suggested we all meet to do the annual review. My hubby and sisters hubby can't be there but the other two partners will be. That means the manager, 6 of us and my poor old Mum who will find this all to much. Can I just ask if this is usual to involve the whole family. My husband thinks I'm being paranoid but I'm the only one who takes interest in Mums well being. My other siblings think it's a good home and we should leave it all to them.
I'm not looking forward to this meeting at all but will be there to speak up for my Mum.
My younger sister and I don't really get on with our other two siblings terribly well.
Apologies for long long post
