Hi
thank you for letting me join i am a grandaughter to a lovely nan and a daughter to a very frustrated mum
my nan is 94yrs old and has just come out of hospital from having a stroke (thankfully not as bad as it could have been)nan was already having a double team in 4 x a day as she could stand but not walk so was using the rotunda
she is know to be hoisted out of bed as this is what the hospital was doing and the carers are to get her up at lunch and put her back to bed at teatime as what have been doing in hospital we are hoping time will increase as she gets stronger but our frustration is with the care providers my nans carers are willing to get her up as they agree with my mum it would be a better quality of life for her but the office/supervisors is saying its up to my nan who unfortunately would agree to stay in bed if put in a certain way making the carers (some not all) jobs a little easier
How do we try and get this over to the care supervisor/office this is not what we would like i understand my nan has right having been a carer and a care home manager so can see it from both sides but all i am seeing is a very upset mother who is getting to the end i wish i could do more but at the moment am waiting for knee and hip replacement so am also feeling frustrated
