'Shameful' care of older patients

Has anyone had any negative experience with elderly relatives in a care home environment?

not with elderly but i myself .i have been admitted to hospital ,then left in the corridor on a stretcher waiting 4 a bed 4 12 hours or more and everytime i questioned why i was still there i was told to shut up and be quiet as there was more important cases to b seen 1st....excuse me but am i not as important as the rest? and this was in a heart hospital .disgusting

I haven't been to see my nan since she has moved into her care home (i'm not very good at travelling and she lives in Devon) but she wasn't very well a few months ago and the lady from the care home phoned my dad to let him know and gave him 2 hourly updates. Thankfully she pulled through. My dad has had so much help and advice from the home where my nan is and they have told him to phone anytime.

my mum went into hospital 2wks ago with severe stomach pains my mum is not the type of person to complain of any pain the same day she was sent home 1 dr said said she was faking it, then the nxt day i had to call dr bk out needless to say he was not happy. the nhs just do not care about our. elderly people why do we pay our national insurance for you get treated better when you are aboard

that's awful triann well i work for the belfast health trust an i look after the elderly an disabled living in their own homes an i have 2 say i have never came across anything like that hun thank god but these things happen an sumat needs 2 b done about it asap cos it just not acceptable i say dam the NHS hope ur mum is feeling better hun xx

i have an old friend in hospital at the minute, he as been in for a week now his condition as steadily got worse he as parkinsons already so what i want to know is why as it taken them a week to do a brain scan when they suspected a bleed on his brain, fortunately for him they pulled their fingers out today and did one and thankfully there is no bleed. This man lives alone and had myself and 2 other people not pushed them chances are he would have been discharged
