Go to the media. Age Concern? DSW? It is elder abuse, plain and simple.
It isn't just happening at the one place. While J was in respite and then hospice care in our local she said the food was dreadful. They don't even have a trained cook because those are expensive skills, so the same horrible crap was served up on a daily basis, and no one complains because they can't. When my Mum was in care, she was abused, had personal stuff stolen, had care ignored, and eventually was moved on, not because she needed different care, but because I was loud in support of her as her advocate.
All these facilities receive government money, all should be regularly mystery shopped if nothing else, to check on the welfare of the aged and infirm.
The reason they go so bad is because no one really cares about the inmates. And no one wants to be one.
Good luck if you decide to push it....
