Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is learning of the pressures faced by conscientious led Care Providers striving to offer a caring and safe environment to both service users and staff. Safety monitoring is proving to be a invaluable care assist tool - bringing a more open and transparent culture into care homes as well as saving valuable resources within the care home sector and the NHS
Some lovely carers but not enough. Staff training poor and unqualified staff left to look after challenging residents . Residents left unattended a lot of the time. Left wet and dirty. Meals often missed as my dad was asleep and he never got offered anything else. Medication missed. Often went in and found him on the floor cause he had fallen. Also he was on thickener as he struggled to swallow with his Parkinson’s thickener was ofen missed form his drink when he got one that was. I am speaking form experience as i was a senior carer for many years. The list could go on and on my experience is of the EMI unit in this home not from down stairs which I believe is residential nursing not dementia. I would not recommend this home at all even when my dad was at end of life they couldn’t get his date of birth right on his syringe driver( morphine drip) and this a controlled drug.
Image 1 unexplained blister which I found when changing him because he was wet.
Image 2 broken bed which was sharp and dangerous I asked for it to be fixed as he could cut himself and they placed a bandaged on it.
Image 3 this was my dad lunch this was all he got for a grown man
Image 4 this is how I found his on Christmas Eve in 2015 he looks like a dirty tramp I was horrified
Image 5 not so very professional paper work look at the amount of times he was found on the floor
