HI ,
I am new on here and would like a bit of advice.
My uncle has recently being diagnosed with Dementia.
After being in and out of hospital and back at home with wrap around care, which didn't really work for a number of reasons. My aunt wanted him to go into a home.
The home initially gave me good first Impressions and possibly still do.
However, there has been two incidents where my uncle has been pushed and got a scratch on his nose and today he has been slapped in the face.
These incidents have happened whilst the head nurse was off duty and I just wondered if he had have been there would they have happened. We have been told straight away on both occasions.
My uncle is a wonderer and was the same at home.
He's also finding it hard to get use to the catherer, fitted back in April on his first hospital admission.
The nurse is trying to get to him a 1/1. The home is out of area so we have had to get the new areas multidisciplinary teams involved.
It's been tough as his first discharged was a failed one. We were only given a discharged and nothing else. (Apart from the local authority care) No social worker etc..
My question is I guess how do we approach the home regarding the above incidents.
Regards
Ann
