My mother had been on ward 18 for 4 weeks, and even though we did ask the staff she was never given a bath or shower,patients would feel a lot better if they where clean, especially the long term patients. The staff who change the patients who are incontinent just put dirty clothes in with clean ones,had to throw away 2 pyjama tops coz they looked like they had been used to clean her. It’s disgusting.
