Mum was recently 'invited' to attend a memory support group ...... short term (7 weeks max) ..... Monday afternoons guaranteed - no I couldn't get time off work to transport her - agreed with Social Worker we would pay for a contract taxi to escort her there and back ....... mum's name on waiting list ...
Letter today ... the group will run on SOME Monday or OTHER Tuesday afternoons ........ (which clashes with one of mum's regular Tuesday day care days - not that I would have expected for one million years for her CPN to have discussed this with her social worker) ..... let alone dear old me and my other commitments ......
Wasn't it the MATS team first impressed on me the importance of regular routine?
To add salt to the wound ...... they have enclosed a map of where the group is to be held and where one might park??????? How much use is that to mum??????
And they have sent all these details to mum - when I have been persuading the world and his wife NOT to send correspondence to mum (under EPA) because she simply does not understand paperwork ...... (of course EPA not applying to the medical world) .... but of ALL the people who should realise mum cannot cope with this stuff - let alone where any correspondence may end up - I rather hoped the MATS Team would be the ones I could rely on???????
Before I completely BLAST a letter off to 'HQ' I thought I would invite thoughts .........
Thanks, Karen, x
