My mother a very terminally ill patient. The care from both Auxillary and Nurses is substandard. My mother is too week to lift her arms to feed herself or to drink. They ask if she wants a drink and fill the glass and leave it on the side out of reach no straw and of no other of assistance.
The food is unsuitable she has very poor appetite and was asked if she want a roast dinner or a beef stew. No care or thought of her needs.
The nurses leave alarms running on the IV's. The auxillarys staff just want to get their job over and done as quick as possible.
My mother was on morphine and was dopey the nurse did not ask and wait for a answer if she was in pain and want more morphine.
She just said you want morphine and gave it. This kept my mother drowsy and unable to communicate
The whole care is totally substandard. How do I know I was a Service Medic for 20 years working on many wards in different hospitals
"Poor Care "
