My mother-in-law is in this hospital. There appears to be very little care whatsoever. She is not being given the painkillers that she is supposed to have. When she pointed out to a staff member that she had not had her painkillers the staff member said that they would check. No painkillers appeared for the rest of the day.
Sitting is painful, yet after being helped to get up in the morning she is left in a chair and not helped to get back to bed to lie down.
At mealtimes there's a curt "Do you want soup?"
No real care. Staff apparently indifferent to patients needs, seemingly finding the patients an inconvenience rather than people who they are supposed to be caring for.
"Indifferent to patients needs"
