Staff don't understand dementia

September 30, 2024
They don't understand dementia. I'm not saying the nurses do not care but they have an all about me booklet that nobody ever looks at. My husband can come across as though nothing is wrong with him, so he ended up not having inhalers, no insulin and didn't have the 5 glasses of water he had said he had. He ended up with a kidney infection.

Discharged with no information or medication

September 30, 2024
I had a fall and ended up going into hospital. I had a scan and white matter showed up on the scans in 2022 to suggest a stroke but no further information given. It was a muddling experience. I needed to know what was happening and how to cope with it but I was discharged soon after with no medication.

The signage wasn't good and I ended up going to the wrong place. They need to improve the directions on the letters they send out.

They are looking at his feet. I had 2 appointments arranged for him for the same day so he isn't having too much time off school. They communicate well.

I came to have bloods done today and they have been really good, amazing. Come every month with my 5 year old to get his bloods. They are always great with him and keep him calm.
