I've just spoken to the DN about extra chc ie more visits from the carers bearing in mind we do HAVE chc!
We have carer visits like this:
9am
12pm
3.45pm
6pm
Personally I think their visits should be more spread out but I like the care company and am loathed to change them!
The DN said with chc 4 visits a day is max! Is this right? Or can the amount of visits be increased?
The night nurses come in between 7.15pm n midnight but averages about 8pm
Dad is soaking wet, pad, clothes and bedding when I come down at 6am
So tonight I'm setting my alarm for3am to call night nurses for a pad change!
Someone on here mentioned I/we can get extra chc care, is this definitely right? Personally I think this particular DN was a jobs worth
No offence to anyone meant about DN's
