Getting through to the care home and the right unit is always a problem and takes some patience, but you will get used to it. The time to worry is when they call you either because there has been an altercation, a fall or there is news of illness -I find that worse because I know I will get called if something happens and it freqeuntly does happen usually over non-incidental issues i.e. mum slipped etc. But I always worry when the day will come about 'The Call' and that is something else in the scheme of things as you watch someone slowly demise.Well I don't know if my husband is beginning to settle but my last phone conversation was better. He told me someone had told him it takes time to get used to it but he said he doesn't want to get used to it! He seems to have taken part in some activities and I've seen on the Facebook page that they have some animals taken in today including a lamb! He would enjoy that. One of the biggest problems we are having now is getting anyone to answer the phone. I can get through to the administrator most times during the day but getting through to speak to a nurse has been really difficult. I've left messages on their answerphone but they never phone back. Today I tried to speak to the manager, again an answerphone, left a message but he hasn't called back. My daughter has been trying to get through to speak to her dad this evening but hasn't been able to. None of this will help him to settle, were concerned he will feel abandoned! I also discovered today that they don't have visiting at weekends!!!!!! I really can't understand this. The administrator said I will have to speak to the manager to see if he will allow it. If not I don't know when my daughter and grandson will be able to see him.
