Mother-in-law here 3 days, 2 nights and in an absolutely shocking
condition. She has Alzheimer's, we explained she would refuse food,
medication, and toileting, but when prompted she will have it, she was
walking around. 2nd day, not dressed, soiled. Refused food, drink and
meds so I washed, dressed gave food and meds. 3rd evening - had 2 falls,
no one phoned or left a message or called other contacts. No senior or
manager on site! Bruises everywhere, was soiled, hadn’t eaten or drunk
anything, no medication for days as refused - again not informed!
hallucinating, reaching things which weren’t there (didn’t do this
before). Couldn’t walk without help as unsteady and falling again. The
manager didn’t want us to take to the hospital but I explained if I left
her she would break something, but didn’t seem concerned. Also didn’t
seem concerned by the condition my mother-in-law was in from 3 days
here. The hospital has put safeguarding on my mother-in-law and the home
is under investigation.
