I think the word rehabilitation must mean leave you all day in an uncomfortable chair and forget about trying to help you recover as that unfortunately is my experience of St Helens and the way my relative is being treated.
We mentioned that the chair was not comfortable- the nurse simply said everything is old here! We had to ask if there was a cushion to help with sores.
We asked a nurse if she could help walk my relative up and down the corridor and again were told they were too busy.
We mentioned that the TV doesn’t work (would help given you are left in a chair all day) but there was no effort to try simply that it would get noted in a book.
It has been a week now and my relative still has not been given a bath or shower.
No wonder York NHS moved them here without notifying the next of kin.
We are being asked to celebrate 70 years of the NHS but if this is the best we can do I don’t think I will be joining the celebrations - shame on you York NHS for thinking this is acceptable.
