A lot to think about : Wandering through a Care Home

You can watch the television all day if you want to. You can listen to the radio. if you can't walk by yourself then you're very restricted because there are staff to take you into the garden or to do something with you and what most people seem to miss the most is conversatio, having a chat with somebody talking to somebody but it's got to be either someone they know and trust and love or someone very imaginative. good even if it's a poor quality of life it takes a lot of courage to get out if that is feasible for on the other hand there was a woman there when I was there and she was only there because she broken her more leg so obviously it was time limited but she was frightened of going home and at the same time she was angry about the large bill she was paying I think it's being alone at night that frightens people but it's so much nicer to sleep in your own bed and in my case I got a new bed. and I got a wool duve and new pillows. if you don't feel co

Do you know that in the United Kingdom each authority or London borough has department of community health and Care who have nurses and physiotherapists and other practitioners serving the local community. There are s community matrons each with responsibility for different parts of the service They are also responsible for the health of people living in Care Homes. the most vulnerable people in the care homes are possibly the ones who have dementia especially when it's been with them to several years. I would think that whatever the Matron does or says to these people, however however cruel, or inappropriate they know that the patient will not be beleieved if they tell the carers. so for those who are on the psychopathic side they can vent their feelings with no fear of a comeback. you can complain to the integrated Care Board but not many people with dementia and being very very old there are not going to make a complaint because they are not capable. I think this is very dan

class="separator" style="clear: both;"> One of the patients here has got quite bad dementia and she is 100 year old and sometimes she screams and shouts saying I want to go home They ignore her because they think they know what she means because she used to have her own house.l they think she wants to go back to her house which is impossible because you can't walk but I have discovered that she doesn't mean that She means that she's forgotten where she is and she knows she should be in a place with a certain name let's say Edinburgh House so I say to her so you want to go to Edinburgh House do? then she says yes I say to her well you're in Edinburgh house now oh then it's all right for me to go to sleep she says and I say yes it's quite alright to go to sleep now because you are in the right place.Molly. she closes her eyes and she stopped screaming and she falls asleep everybody's delighted but this thinking would apply to othe

if you have your own room you may believe that you are got privacy. I had one drawer which I was using for my private things when several times clean it eithe how to empty 8 onto my bed without asking my permission when I was on the grounds that there might be some crumbs in it. this time while I was out of the room because they wanted to clean the floor really but when I went back we are turning all my positions not including my codes fortunately and they put books notebooks pens spectacles jewellery all jumped on my bed to anyone at all to see and cleaning woman and took out my private drawer and was about empty it onto the bed. play I was left to put everything back and during the following night I became ill with severe chest infection and I'm still ill now. I find it extremely intrusive and I never believed that no one could have the right to go through my personal belongings without me being there or without my permission. I felt assaulted. I had not realised how far they wo
