Hi guys, My name is Zara. I have an uncle who has dementia he is 52 years old and is sadly being neglected by his children who are supposed to be caring for him. he is in a bad way at the moment he is laying in his own poo and pee. I live 300 miles away, my other cousins have been there and his son is locking the door and cant get in. his son will not let anyone in .
we contacted social services about 3 months ago concerned about his health and well being, sadly social services did nothing! Now this week we have got intouch with his social worker and to be honest with you he isnt much help at all.
i spoke with him today and he said he was happy fr me to go through his children about my uncle, the thing is, is its them thats the problem with his care etc. they arent looking after him properly, he is under nourished, no weight on him at all, he hasnt been bathed or showered in i dont know how long. all he does is lay in a bed curled up in a ball 24/7. his social worker isnt helping us and my uncle needs help!
i need to get him out of there, so i rung the police. they were going around there today havent heard from them. i dont know what else to do! seems like everyone is failing us. im wondering how i could rehouse him to a care home where he would have 24/7 care and be looked after instead of being neglected. its breaking our hearts. we need to find help for him asap.
does anyone know of anything else i could do please? it would be great thanks for your time Zara
