Not Happy with Care :-(

Pros

A Couple of the staff were awesome and wend above and beyond.

Cons

Quick to lay blame on others, care not given as expected, in fact was very below standard. I was only informed of very nasty sores on my Dad's shins after I pointed it out to staff, turned out to be cellulitious. Blame was passed to the care staff for not informing Nurses.

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

I feel it very disturbing that Staff pass the blame on others when things should have been picked up and reported at the time. My Dad's legs would not have gotten to the state that they did if they had of been using the creme that was specifically for his legs. He also had a fall and broke his hip, again staff tried to say that my Dad had moved the matt that alerts them that he is out of bed. In my and his Doctor at the hospitals opinion, he was far too frail to be able to do that himself.

Pros

This year has been not easy with the various Covid restrictions. In spite of all this we are grateful to be here at Summerset. W are grateful for all the support in changing times.

Cons

Sometimes we feel as if we could have a little bit more information at times. but in the overall picture that is rather a small matter.

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

Sometimes it would be helpful if the management gave us a bit more information about when they are going to do something eg wash the villas down. Recently they said they were washing them during a certain week but then had to delay those plans but didn't let us know.
