Problem with one senior carer. Didn't know relative was being admitted
for care, so we were left outside while they made a call. Let us inside,
made another call and got our relative's name wrong. Allocated a room
and they took us to the wrong one. Said they thought my relative was
getting an infection but failed to ring the doctor. Rang to ask what the
problem was when relative was admitted to hospital. The second time they
were admitted they failed to ring me to let me know and I found out from
a doctor at the hospital 13 hours later. Then proceeded to ring the
hospital when family member was in end of life. A catalogue of errors
from someone who is a senior carer and supposedly has a duty of care to
the people they look after. We as a family feel like we have been failed
terribly by their incompetence. The other carers in the home were really
nice and caring. But the bad experience we had with this one particular
carer has totally put me off recommending the place to anyone else.
