Went to see Mum last Tuesday - was'nt that great - they had the heating on full blast in the home which made the smell of wee horrendous. Mum's new duvet set was missing from her bed - I eventually found it, I think it had been washed but looked like a rag (I like my stuff ironed). I was also told by the nurse she had a fall the Thursday before last an had some bruising. I took her into the loo and had a look - was quite shocked at what I saw.
My Dad turned up to see Mum (I did'nt know he was coming). He was upset as to how worse her dementia had got. I was also unimpressed with the fact my Mum wanted the loo (which I took her) and the only person around was a male chinese care worker. Now if I had'nt been there, was he going to do it. His English was'nt that great.
I have also realised on walking up and down with Mum in the corridor, that her bedroom is the only one without carpet - not sure why - so am going out to buy a big rug to make the room look less like a prison cell.
I have'nt been in yet this week as have had a virus since last Wednesday and feel grotty.
I came out, and sat in the car and cried my eyes out (but waited until my Dad drove away) as I know it would have started him off aswell.
I will never come to terms with any of this Mazie.

Hiya zzxxee - now her water infection has cleared up, she is o.k during the day - but obviously they need to ask her if she wants to go to the loo. I noticed she had a horrible baby type nappy on, held in place by her pants. I think this is easier for them rather than her.
I know what you mean about the rug zzxxee - I have bought a few rugs for Mum's living room at home as she has laminate flooring and also buy ones that lay really flat against the flooring.

I am keeping an eye on the whole situation, but so far I am not impressed with what I am seeing. My Mum and another lady called Betty are the most able bodied residents on their floor all the others are either in bed or are at a severe stage of dementia, one of which pulled my Mum's glasses off the other week and they were broke beyond repair.
