Lyndi, thnk you - there are wonderful Managers, nurses, carers (indeed, my sister in law is a Carer herself, there every day), need to remember all of you and how you hurt too when read stories like these.

So sad, up til this point, had been able to relax, he seemed so well cared for.

((((hugs))))) x

Boards gonna keep running, pls nudge - will help those who don't know where to turn to, even if no probs just need someone to listen we're all here for them. x

((((SS))))
So pleased for you, your brother and your family.
As a care home manager your story has appalled me. Some of us try very hard to get it right.

Homes have to keep a record of their complaints, so CSCI will (or should!) find out about this incident, if they don't know already.

You have not only won for your brother, but also for people who have nobody to speak for them.

Take care, and I hope your brother can now get on with his life and be happy.

Doryth, thank you. You so right. We are the voices for those that can't defend themselves.

Really good advice for Marilyn - it is abuse, hadn't thought about Citizens Advice.

(((hugs))) xxx

absolutly delighted that you were succesful. Care Homes and trusts will always try to manipulate family to back down and keep quiet but we are advocates for people who cannot speak for themslves. No-one knows them better than their family.

Marilyn

if you feel unable to speak up fpr your Mum ask Citizens advise about advocate , solot of areas provide this service free. Stand up for your Mums rights. The mental health Unit she is in is guilty of abuse if they are removing her zimmer plus other stuff

(((((hugs))))

Laura, hun, thank you. I'll be blushing soon, just doing what any big sis would do for her bro. Thank you though, means so much. xxx

OH said we're going to see bro at wkend (I don't drive, he's away on busines during week); i'm going to print off all the wonderful things you've written re my bro and show him he's not alone. x

Not anything that's not to do with us. x

You are so kind, thank you. I think you are all lovely and it was thanks to you and everybody on the thread that I had the courage to let my voice be heard, you've all been with me when I've been emailing, during the day.

Joy hun, have pmd you. x

Thank you.

(((((hugs)))) xxx

Got so many pms - my heart is so full of love for you all. Everyone agrees this thread should be ongoing, so may I ask you all to bookmark it (I have), nudge it so anyone in need of a listening ear, support, comfort, advice, lol even laughter that's such a help, will know where to come.
