As a family who have had to admit an absolutely amazing and loving dad and husband into the care system, we feel that both us and my dad have been totally let down which makes the distress of our decision more intolerable. He was admitted for respite and within 4 weeks he cannot recognise us feed and toilet himself, we would never criticise the nursing staff in any way because they are so short on the ground and do their best but my Dad is on a 1-1 basis at the moment because of anxiety and aggression which seems to be a fundamental failure of care here not just of my dad but other patients I have witnessed in interaction. I will post this to anyone who will listen and will not let it go until I know that things will improve.
