Re: How Safe Are Care Homes

My late father was wrenched out of my hands in the last year or so of his life by a care home where he went on daily care while i was at work.... My father couldn't speak so communicating with him was very difficult. The care home placed him in the day room every day surrounded by women which was his worst nightmare... having to listen to women wittering and and moaning all day! He used to complain about sitting on a bus listening to them on the way back from town... he was a character. Anyway i digress, he got so annoyed by the staff not undersatnding that he needed some peace and quiet that he picked up a pillow and stuffed it over the face of one lady that was moaning quite loudly (not her fault.... old age does horrible things to the mind). Good job the staff caught him in time!! It was christmas eve of all days and i was dragged to the care home to reprimand my father. When the incident was investigated the care home were reprimanded for not managing the atmosphere!!
Anyway i suppose this just goes to show what happens with the oldies when your back is turned!!!
