In the 4 months my mother has been in a care home I noticed her tooth paste was hardly been used.
For various reasons I feel that bringing this to the attention of the home isn't in my mothers best interest, so I just ask her to brush her teeth when I visit.
So unless the home has some sort of communal tooth paste and brush.
My mum has an en suite toilet and basin where her tooth brush is. Once her tooth brush was missing and I asked the staff who'd not seen it so went and bought a new one.
How often do you buy new toothpaste for the care home?
How easy do you find it to raise problems with care providers? Do you think it achieves anything?
