Hi all
Im new to this but mum was diagnosed with alzheimers/vascular dementia just over a year ago. She has been in a care home for 12 months now and they have more or less always put incontinence pants on her as she been urinarally(sorry if wrong word) incontinent pretty much since diagnosis. The home have always provided these pants and never asked us to buy them. We had a few concerns with the home and they didn't like us complaining. Shortly after this they rang us at 8.30am to advise us that she was now doubly incontinent and could we provide incontinence pads for her immediately as the home had none!!!
They told us they are going to get an assessment done but I'm struggling to see why the home have made this request. Is it because they are being awkward or should we provide them?
Many thanks
