As Ann Mac hasn't logged in for a while I feel uncomfortable still posting on so bizarre. Can't say I wanted my own thread but after many years of piggy backing onto Ann's I feel not right when she hasn't logged on (she is posting on fb).
@Spamar are you joining me? As we seem to be only bizarrites left.
So....
An evening carer didn't give mum her meds a week or so ago. However I found out because the GP phoned my number as it was on mum's contact details when he should have phoned the care team.
I'm not bothered in total. Mum was missing loads of tablets in 6 months before she moved into her flat (in 2014) and GP assured me that the tablets have long half lives so not a big deal from a medical perspective. But should they have contacted me to let me know rather than the GP teling me by accident.
I did speak to the care supervisor and she said that it has been raised with her management who are not happy and things are being followed up. Should I be told the outcome of this?
In total I am very happy with mum's care, and the supervisors know her needs well. She is finally getting a shower once a week, after years without due to the persistence of a certain carer who is now always rostered to do this call.
However there are lots of bits of communication I think could be better. But I don't want to rock the boat.
