Torture in a nursing home On Thursday 24 June 2022 the nurse here in Churn House said my BP was still too high and I lay down to restThe morning nurse burst in shouting and glaring said to me that I don't have angina and tricked me into giving her my GTN spray and said I could not have it though initially she said she would bring it back i have had angina 16 years and told to keep this on me always by all my previous doctors as it is unstable angina She said the night nurse would not give it to me even if I get chest pain This is torture. So what were they playing at? I was terrified.I cried so much it was painful and lonely This doctor had never even spoken to me Did they think I was lying. I don't think they know what angina is The same day the doctor sent a prescription to Boots for the same thing So within an hour they agreed I did have angina but Churn Bounce did not know And it came here but they would not give it to me. As often nobody comes when I ring the buzzer I was frightened However the very competent nurse gave it to me on Saturday On Monday Fah So Dough came here and shouted Where is it? Who gave it to you I broke down and cried again I am in danger of cardiac arrest I kept it I began trembling uncontrollablely which annoyed her She shouted she would not take it by force. And implied I was trembling on purpose Most of the staff are very kind and despite the pay they are devoted to their task Then my poor sister arrived. I only slept 2 nights out of 7 I have suffered anguish and Is it legal for this to happen? My sister was distressed I have suffered a lot from people who are paid to care for me What do you think? I am at risk of cardiac arrest if I can't get the spray quickly

Intimacy and friendship

Although living in a care home can be extremely lonely, i it's possible to get very close to somebody. I got a very close to a lady of 100 who had dementia but it took time. the start with qu she the she was aggressive because I could not do what she wanted, but gradually got to trust me. after about 8 months she said to me one day that she knew it was me who was putting her blanket around because she said you are so gentle. then she said I love you. when she had been asking me to kill her ;that was quite a big advance. despite the fact that I had to leave the Home I don't think it's the wastr of time spending it with her. I think the fact that she felt she loved me which I think was genuine is good experience for her. despite the horrible boredom and frustration of her illness she was still able to make contact with another person and to be grateful for what she was receiving and I think even that small amount of care would give her spirit some comfort. Coming back i...

Dementia is physical illness

 I have been visiting   two people with dementia. One who shouts and screams a lot is quite rational if you can get used to her and calm her,  and be  present with your body. Sometimes she likes to hear me sing,  to talk about her childhood  At other times she will say that But at times she can't control herself she can't listen and have a conversation so she is able to reflect.she can't walk and at the moment she is in her room all day. Extroverted so she doesn't like to be alone all the time but sometimes I've heard the staff sayings of someone in a similar situation. We don't do one-to-one caring here. We have got a lot of other people times look after. One-to-one caring is what you need and you could only get that in a different kind of home As it happens  there are fewer people here than there were. I think there may be something wrong and they're not taking new people so it should not be so difficult to care for someone like this. But on th...

The hospital was nearly as bad as the home in some ways

I was in hospital for 2 weeks and in some ways it was similar. fewer nurses more carers in the home we were washed ourselves very well every morning in the hospital it was less than once every two days. look at least in the hospital there are witnesses to what happens namely the other patients and the other staff. And there is PALS that is very good indeed as long as you speak out properly.
