Hi
Me again, just been to see my dad it was obvious that he had just eaten his tea, whilst in bed and with the guard up??
He was fully clothed on his top half and asleep, I tried to wake him but he bearly opened his eyes and went back to sleep he was well out of it, I spoke to the carer who came in to take his plate away and she said that he hardly touched his breakfast and his fluid intake was low. She would get the nurse to talk to me, I spoke to the nurse and she said that he has loose stools and his fluid intake is a little low, he was fine this morning.
But I am worried that he seems to be constantly in bed with the guard up - he has had a few words with one of the other residents - I am wondering if they are trying to keep them apart, dad has a bit of a short fuse sometimes and he sometimes reverts to Latvian his mother tongue, but surly this is not enough to have to keep his guard up??
There is a coffee afternoon with residents/family and care home manager in June I think I will take an afternoon off and go along see what they have to say about it.
Thanks for all your advise
