His care and the staff were excellent. Where I feel there is room for improvement is at the initial
When my father had his 6-week review I heard all sorts of things I had no idea about, things, that a 5-minute phone call would have cleared up. I only found out he had had a chiropodist appointment because I happened to meet the chiropodist whilst visiting Forthbank. I asked if she had seen him and then asked about the toe separator he used, but she hadn't seen it because it wasn't being used and it seemed I was the only person who knew of its existence. Not a major issue, but excellence in care is not achieved by forgetting the small things.
Before my father moved in I made the point to the house manager that in order for me to feel I was discharging my duty of care towards my father, I would need to know that his needs were being addressed and she assured me this would be the case. This didn't happen and I was left to assume they were.
You asked for my opinion and this it.
There should be one single member of staff with an overview of each new resident during their settling in period, who is the point of contact for relatives/former carers. This person should keep them informed about all the necessary arrangements as they are made and certainly on a weekly basis until such a point that it is evident that everything has been transferred and is in place, at which point the relative/carer can back off safe in the knowledge that all is well.
This is also an opportunity to prove your commitment to care and receive the praise and thanks which you deserve for the very difficult and trying job that you all do.
