Death in a care home

Shropshire UK

I’ve been reading for the last two days and article about a woman of 91 who died on a fiirst day in a care home.

A lot of the articles blame two workers who did not speak English properly so they said.

But if this home and people will dementia and other illnesses then it will be a nursing home and there has to be a nurse on the premises all the time.

The newspapers are blaming the care workers because when they rang 999 they could not explain what had happened properly but there should be a nurse fully qualified and someone from management so to me it seems like the home is to blame for leaving it up to the Carers to ring for the ambulance.

The poor woman has been there only one day and she died. Book to be perfectly frank with you I think her life would not have been very good in that place. I have heard residents saying that they want to die and one person with severe dementia asked me to kill her. When I tell the I couldn’t do that she said I was a coward.

Unless you know a place I will be very wary of putting a relative into one.
