Tracey, I've had ten carees over the last 40 years, all four parents, plus other family members. I know that sometimes I come over as very assertive, both here and to social services. If you don't stick up for yourself and the ones you love, they are not going to get the care and services they have...

Bowlingbun that’s appalling I can’t believe anyone would do that

Anyone else think this is dodgy or is it just me I got a call from the manager of the care home my dads in she said he’d been asking about his money and if I had his bank card and if I did could I bring it with his PIN number to the care home why would I do that he’s got dementia he didn’t know how ...
