Any advice would really help.
My grandma is currently in hospital after a stroke, she does have dementia mainly short term but has the capacity to make choices for herself like whats she does eats drinks ect...
Due to limited mobility she is being hoisted from bed into wheelchair. When visiting she kept asking me to take her to the toilet as she was desperate to empty her bowels. She has never been incontinent. She used the call bell and she asked a nurse when free to assist her.
To then the nurse told my grandma that she has a nappy on...to go in there... and walked away. With many grandma begging me to take her.
I'm a fully trained care assistant in a nursing home so I fully understands staffing levels.
I felt like my grandmas human rights where thrown out the window.
Is it illegal to use a hoist as a family/ visitor within a hospital setting ?
