There are 15 residents on his Dementia floor, and I think most , if not all, are incontinent. " Can't someone get some money from petty cash and walk down the high street and buy some?" " we're not allowed to "
A phone call to the senior member of staff on duty explaining that unless the situation (barrier cream and OH's meds) is remedied by lunchtime on Monday you will be contacing the CQC. That'll galvanise them.

As mentioned just as well you are there to support him @Hostafan1. Hope you can sort it quickly. It's brighten up here at last, cold wind though. There's a burst water main in the high street about a mile away, we are not affected yet but being careful to keep kettle etc topped up in case.
Cornwall the same, a friend of ours has just brought his MIL home because of the care or lack of, that she got, he ended up putting his own private camera in her room and watching it on his computer. I dread to think how he’s managing, they were paying thousand of pounds for her care. A very ‘posh’ home in Launceston.

Oh your poor hubby @Hostafan1. But he does have you - what about all the other patients who don't have a loving, and able, partner to look out for them? Glad you have got the social care team involved. Nice and bright here today but cold and windy so no gardening today. We'll be taking the car out for a spin in a bit to keep it happy.
Sorry to hear this Hosta. I hope DCC intervene effectively and he's in better case tomorrow.
I've done a couple of hours in the garden this afternoon, in the drizzly rain. Finally planted my garlic - left it late this year. Earlier in the week I had a delivery in the post of a box of nerine bulbs. I have no recollection of ordering them and don't know what I must have been thinking - never had much luck with them. So they are healed in for now in pots. I know they don't like disturbance but they're going to have to lump it - the only part of my garden where they might possibly survive needs some attention before I can plant them. So I now have a cold nose and damp knees and that quiet of mind that only comes from a few hours playing in the mud
The bread's on its second prove, OH is doing his exercises, the dogs are dozing - I'll have a cuppa and then put the chicken in the oven. Hope you're all having a peaceful weekend
