It's definitely cruel to prolong the situation in my opinion. It's also difficult to get a realistic opinion of situation from the staff. I think it's true that we are given a positive upbeat synopsis from the staff but personally I would like a reality update. We were told mum was sitting in a chair in a lounge with all the other residents on Sunday as it was mother's day, however, mum is bed bound and can't even lift her head up so we can't believe they managed to get her into a wheelchair using a hoist and then moved onto a chair in the lounge, it's totally unrealistic. Hey ho, hopefully this nightmare will end soon ...
