I have spoken to the member of staff in question and am sorry that they made you feel unwelcome. I understand that the visitors requested that the resident move from where she was sitting to another area of the lounge which she refused to do.
It may be that this was misinterpreted that the member of staff was too busy to bother. We operate person-centred care in the home which means that the wishes of the residents are paramount.
We are complimented on a daily basis on the friendly and welcoming atmosphere in the home and have amazing support from the friends and relatives of our residents.
If the people visiting had mentioned their concerns at the time it would have been dealt with and I hope that they will come again as it would be a shame to deprive their friend of their company.
