<\/a><\/div>\n

A<\/b><\/span> couple or so months back, my elderly mother had a fall in the room of the Care Home she currently resides in.\u00a0 She was taken to hospital the next day to be checked out for injuries as she was in pain, and when she returned to the Home a day after that, her bed was moved from the side of the wall to the middle of the room in order to allow staff to stand either side of her bed, presumably to more easily assist her if she needed to sit up.<\/p>\n

One night while I was visiting, two staff members came into the room and tried to lower the bed on one side (perhaps to take my mother to the toilet), but clearly didn’t know what they were doing and the bed suddenly collapsed on one side with an almighty clang.\u00a0 My mother was flung from the middle of the mattress and into one set of the wooden ‘barriers’ around the bed, screaming “Stop!\u00a0 Stop!\u00a0 You’re killing me, you’re killing me!”<\/i> and moaning and groaning in pain.<\/p>\n

I was then asked to step out of the room for a moment, which I did, thinking they were going to do something that required privacy, but, on reflection, I later wondered if it was to prevent me from seeing further instances of their incompetence.\u00a0 (One of them had only started two or three days before.)\u00a0 I’ve lost count of how many instances I’ve witnessed of ineptitude by staff, many of whom seem poorly trained and completely uninterested in their job, which is far from a ringing endorsement for the standard of ‘care’ that Meadowbrook<\/b><\/i> provides.<\/p>\n

(One example of poor training – or no<\/b><\/i> training to be exact – is when I asked a staff member to replace the batteries in my mother’s hearing aids.\u00a0 She replied she didn’t know where the batteries were kept, and that she didn’t know how to fit them anyway.\u00a0 Her response to my enquiry of how long she’d worked there was “Four years”<\/i>.\u00a0 Staggering!)<\/p>\n

So, Crivvies, you’ve likely read my previous posts about this awful excuse for a Care Home*<\/span>.\u00a0 What would you<\/b><\/i> do if you found yourselves in such a situation?<\/p>\n
