Deeply appalled to learn that if you require care in the community by NLC North Lanarkshire council care you will not be offered assistance with a shower unless you are incontinent.
When asking re hair washing we were told that dry shampoo was the only option. In this day and age why is this even acceptable! Also if you are immobile and unable to access kitchen/fridge it is deemed fit that a sandwich is left from and Am visit for lunch with no offer of a hot/cold drink.
Commode emptying - doesn’t qualify for a visit, the soiled commode can be left at bedside from 1pm one day until 930am the following day.
Something needs to change here starting with treating elderly frail patients with some dignity!
