Aged Care
#5
Not much point in commissioner level complaints.
They are overworked, the staff. Its the corporate mentality...costs....over care.

I have complained to them and will continue to be annoying.
I went back tonight, did her meal for her, short staffed girl said, yeah I could see that.

So once a day, twice on weekends at minimum, it's not far so might as well. make sure she has her table, water etc.
It's not a grotty place, flash enough looking, even her budget room.

Staff really casual, Mum had multiple falls sometimes not found for hours, her own cutlery mixed up with facilities during her having meals in her room, discouraged as more work for staff.

All in all a bad experience and Mum died anyway.

Yeh heard a few stories from various people, various homes.
Some pretty horrific.

Lucky its only 7km from me, so I'll just go in at least daily. She is EOL, it's not like it will be months and months.
And it is a shit of a job...I couldn't do it.  well with people not my mum...
