My father has now almost lost the use of his legs and is mainly in a wheelchair or laid on bed. Has advanced vascular dementia and is starting to look very poorly now and quiet.
Is it right that a carer is not allowed in the toilet with a resident due to privacy.
Reason I ask is my dad pressed his buzzer the other day but wheelchair was missing so was pulled up held up on a walker and almost dragged to the toilet and left in there. He has no balance for a start and almost fell on a slate floor!!!
The carer left and my mum went in to find him just about to fall backwards and caught him. Mum is 81!!!!!
She pressed his buzzer and 4 members of staff came up but still no wheelchair,
.
Dad was then dropped gently to the floor and told to sit on the floor.
He had a catheter hanging from him too.
I am sick of complaining about dads lack of proper care and social services who don't do a lot,
Dads far too poorly to be moved now so that's out,
If I could...and I know I can't I would bring dad home and look after him myself. However I am very ill myself.
I could write a book here.
Very very worried as dad is having so many falls now.
Thank you x
