Huns,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart - much stronger today, am going to pm a his sister (dad's got dementia so I'm Head of family so to speak) - also going to pm my sisters who will tell my bros, emails should be arriving there thick and fast!

Song springs to mind (changed third line each verse):

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's standing by the water
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We're fighting for our brother,
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We're fighting for our rights,
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We'll get this nightmare sorted,
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
People in Care Homes have rights,
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Everyone deserves respect and dignity,
We shall not be moved.

There, how dare they!

I agree with Mo 100%..............inspectors will go in and do a spot check, no warnings and the person who reported the home will not be named.

We must all do all we can to make sure the vulnerable are protected.

Hello Shani

Have just read your post and I'm horrified at the ill treatment your brother as had to suffer, it beggers belief that in this day and age these things still happen and so called professionals are allowing it to happen.

You go get them girl, give them hell.

Best wishes for all your family.

People in 'field' not notified, horrified, on warpath for bro.

Breakfast: taken to dining room, told NO YOU EAT IN YOUR ROOM. Scrambled egg, one-handed + plastic fork, couldnd't eat so Carer called, give £5 told to take him to shop to buy something - breakfast was MEAT PIE. I'm on WARPATH, emailing when get home.

my OH half is always singing it,

ShimmsRedRoseAndMistletoe Report 14 May 2008 07:49

This has always been my song for me bro, particularly relevant now
"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"

The road is long, with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy - he's my brother

So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there

For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy - he's my brother

Only this time, there are others there for me, us, him. x

If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness of love for one another
It's a long long road from which there is no return
While we're on our way to there, why not share
And the load, it doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
He ain't heavy - he's my brother, he's my brother, he's my brother

I've put this on my update thread too, want you all to know how I feel ((((hugs))))

To all my friends
On GR
I need to tell you
That you are
Some of the sweetest kindest people I've ever met
Thank you so much for allowing me
To learn a lesson
That although I've always protected my family
Not used to having others care
I now know that I can share,
For you are all there
To hold my hand,
Support, advise, offer love and comfort
You have been just so been there for me,
You've touched my heart.
I shall never ever forget
The day I asked for help
The day I received it.

Thank you.

xxx

Always, always there for you too; someone somewhere is always 'worse' off. If anybody needs me, I'm always here for you.
