Hi. I feel bad for even thinking like this but due to distance (I’m 500 miles away) and some dissatisfaction I’ve had with the care I overheard whilst on loudspeaker to dad (his career didn’t know I was in the background and heard everything), I feel I’d be reassured or made aware of dads care, good and bad. Dad tells me the carers bath a lot and has mentioned the word bullies in the past to describe some carers. I wasn’t sure if this was just dad exaggerating as he can have a temper on him and misread people but having overheard his care on one occasion (no bullying but the use of inappropriate words) from one carer, I’m now thinking he may well be right. I’ve read the fact sheet on using hidden cameras that I found online but just wanted to know if anyone uses any. If so, which type and how do you keep it charged up. I have power of attorney and I have no doubt what so ever that dad would be happy with me doing this. Especially as it could prove or disprove what he tells me. Or doesn’t tell me.
If you have used a camera, we’re the care home ok about it?
