Went to see mum today. Two carers were covering up the dinner, the care team manager and her brother a regular carer. The manager commented as follows:-
'Oy, Michael. Watch what you do with that clingfilm'
'Why'
'Wave that about and you'll start to scare them. They'll think we will do them in'
They both laughed.
I failed to see the funny side. I don't expect comments like this at £650 per week especially from a senior carer.
Am I being oversensitive? I'm 37 and like a laugh and a joke but this sickened me. My mother has just approached the last stages of AD and I honestly don't think that she has long to go, maybe days, she cannot swallow and she weighs 7st. Things are bad as they are without these sort of comments/jokes.
