You can never have enough...

Popeye have you contacted the Aged Care Commissioner - she was appointed last year and she has a whole office of people to make change and look into any concerns in the rest home sector .While she probably can’t discuss with you individual cases of the other ladies she is mandated to look into all concerns that anybody raises with her about any aged care establishment- have a look at her responsibilities on line - at least the buck stops with her so it can’t be swept under the carpet - it could be very embarrassing if she didn’t look into it as you have all the documentation .The cooks from the local private schools went into the resthomes here during the holidays to help out because they were short staffed - they were absolutely gobsmacked - the money being allocated for the supply of food was sufficient but contracts had been entered into by the DHB were not being met but nobody did anyth8ng about it - it’s the same really with Access home care they are just fleecing the tax payers - hopefully the restructuring of the DHBs will sort out a lot of problems
Have been watching Downton Abbey again while I have been crocheting - forgotten how lovely it is - up to row 53 of 240
Yesterday I had an overwhelming need for a piece of steak - I eat very little meat - Robie dropped me a piece off but of course now I don’t fancy it - but can’t waste it - would rather have one of your mussels Hunny .Had a chuckle when I read the man who won lotto went home to his dogs and told them they were going to be set for life and had a bowl of pot noodles
