Hope now that the residents start to enjoy living in the home, and with caring staff like your daughter they will be fine. Your daughter sounds like a very caring person. ~You must be proud.

Well done Annie, and well done Annie's Daughter!
:-))

Erm, on a lighter note for a second, I have to disagree with you lot: the word is MISMANAGER please!
:-))

But seriously, thank goodness she's been suspended. What a shame if she's still on full pay.
I do hope the residents of the home start to get looked after better, and with employees like your daughter Annie, they will be.
Thanks for the update.

Well done Annie - to you and your daughter. Great news that the manager has been suspended - though not enough in my opinion...hopefully now both the staff and residents will have a much better environment to work/live in.

fantastic news and well done you for reporting it - and for your daughter too!!! Would that there were more people willing to shop those who donlt do their jobs properly in the business of care - as Maggy says, why do people who donlt care about other chose to work in a caring profession? Hopefully this person will never get another job in the field of care

I agree, you should be very proud of her daughter and you should have some cheers yourself.
As a caregiver, I have before this sent a staff member down to the pharmacy supply shop to buy masks or gloves if we ran out - and have been reimbursed. It just cannot be tolerated.

If a caregiver in one of these homes, or management, ever ceases to realise that we are doing for other peoples parents what we can't do for our own parents/grandparents, they should leave.

Good job the manager has been suspended, absolutely right.

Brilliant news.I hope this manager( if she can be called that ) will never be allowed to work in this profession again.Well done your daughter for bringing it to light.She is only young She should be proud of telling you.Too many people are scared to say anything.

Glad the manager is out of the way and hope some decent management come in and help those poor folk immediately, also that they help the staff cope better. Good luck to your daughter, and to you, thanks for reporting this.

Thanks for letting us know Annie. Good to hear that she's been suspended. I can't understand why people who don't care want jobs in the caring profession.
Like Marilyn, I hope she gets what is owing to her.

Just what she deserved, well done for reporting it.

I hope she gets sacked to, we need people with feelings who actually care in this type of workplace not those that couldnt care less.

Hope she gets what is owing to her.

Thanks to all that took the time to reply.The manager has been suspended.Daughter has just phoned me.Hoping she gets the sack now. Annie

Annie is probably at work still or busy with her grandson. Hope she found time to report the place, would hate to know any of my friends or relatives were in such dire straits.

come back and tell us what happened when you complained please

Iget on my soap box every time i here about these so called care homes .. my sister passed awy mid september ..... she was dying with breast cancer suppose to be having pallitive care ... had to demand pillows for her to keep her from slipping over her chair,

she was so ill .. but was kept in the lounge with all other residents ..... over the last three months i was sick of complaining..... I got in touch with social services .. and the doctor they just nod and hope you go away ....when she had passed i was with her she had all red marks under her arms .. that was due ti those hoists to take them to bathroom .. im getting off it so angry ,,

report to the top and dont budge ..... god help those poor people ,,

This should not be tolerated.
Would the local council have a department to report to? Or maybe they can give advice?

Regarding working practices - have a look at ACAS website
www.acas.org.uk

There are various links to take you to page you want. Some look good, and they will mediate, if you decide to go down that route. I used them on one occasion and very helpful.

night night Glenys and everyone and let's hope it's the last good night's sleep for a long time for those in charge of this shambles!!!!!

We are all going to have to climb down off our soap boxes to get to bed.But it is quite clear from all the posts ,we all agree. Disgraceful !!!
Night Nightx

Well done, Annie; thank God you're going to report them. I'm disgusted, and hope that the culprits rot in hell. :-((
Flippy heck, I'm so angry now!
Going to sign off in a min., but again - Annie, thank goodness for people like you. And all the other good people who'd do the same.
Night night, all.

also - I'm on a bigger soap box now - are the staff in a union? A union would just love to get their hands on this one. Are they in Unison?
I have long been of the opinion that conditions in care homes is the next big scandal waiting in the wings to blow up!!! We are all going older and it is in the intersts of all of us to do something about it while we can, before we need to go into care - please God I don't - but just in case
