My mother has been on ward 31 for 8 days, this ward is supposed to be for cardiac patients. Sorry but its not. I feel that the majority of patients have some sort of dementia, the ward is also supposed to be split one half men the other women, not so.
men are wandering about half naked, using ladies toilets wash rooms. walking into womens bays at all times of day and night, not any of the nurses (and I use the term losely) because I dont think any are actually qualified, not enough staff on ward to deal with patients. Many have a terrible attitude towards patients and visitors, if you have any questions nobody can give you a straight answer. can never get to speak to an actual doctor, so after 8 days still no further on with my mothers treatment.
The ward is old, dirty only a few of the televisions work, as staff cannot find remote controls, absolutely disgusting, my mother was perfectly alert when first went into hospital apart from her heart problem. Now she is slowly on a decline due to complete boredom, and as for the meals, *slop* not food half the time you cannot tell what its is, that's if you actually get what you ordered, will now be asking to get my mother transferred to a different hospital.
DISGUSTED WITH CARE, HOSPITAL AND STAFF!
