.omg guys,you would all been proud of me today!stayed calm totally one nil to me..

going to give centre director a pass,today was very warm his shirt was sticking to him before i even started talking,maybe lost a pound or so in fluids before i left room totally accepted the "inappropriate conversation"about another patient but said he could not remember it happening.i pointed out that,should he made sure of whom he was talking to and about which resident,the situation would not have occurred.i asked him directly how the family of this man would feel should they be made aware of this situation.advised him in the future to be very careful of what he says and to who..maybe speak to someone about "memory loss"...i made them fully aware of my own personal situation/circumstances.this is where i thought i would break down,but i didnt.i my mindset i found the word "lone wolf",which is pretty much the truth,mr director tried to gain some ground with regards the clothing issues,i did corner/penalty and scored.scrambling around trying to find an exuse for finding sean naked and cold is an issue they accept,but wriggling about a bit...i took with me suitcase with clothes,all labelled with full inventory.went to see sean,just for half hour,he pulled my face mask off and made to kiss me.they were crowding around like he was justin bieber or someone v.i.p.too little,too late."smoke and mirrors"(that ones for you nan!)a DOLS will be put in place,rightly so they had thought initially sean had some capacity due to their assessments.his manner is not consistant,so i have said i will take over this responsible role.just to cover my tracks,i reported the unit to c.q.c who will step in to protect seans interests until i am able to do so.i made at this meeting the major point of lack of communication regarding all aspects of seans care have said unacceptable on every level.i think i nailed my colours to the mast,i think i did ok...much love to you all my freinds,and make no mistake i keep close love for all you that are going through it nowxxx

Well done D you have done yourself and Sean proud. Totally agree with NB this ‘care placement’ needs major improvement in the very basics of care, dignity, compassion and common sense. These are the important things not ‘Orla Kiely’ bed head wallpaper and designer type fitted wardrobes!

Virtual hug from me as well. Nanapal. 💕

Sounds like you did really well D - a well deserved high five, for being calm, assertive, and effective. So sad you were put in this position, but it sounds like you got your points across.

Well chuffed for you. Glad you scored, I counted 4-0 back of the net. Knew you would do well. Now they know that they can't brush you off. You have set the standard for Sean, as well as pointed out that the CQC have the measure of them, which should improve things for others in their care. Hope you gave yourself a celebratory fist pump xx
