I saw Mam again this afternoon. I took her out for a ride in the wheelchair through the grounds which she really enjoyed. While I was there a nurse came in to take a look at her legs which have been quite dry (I dont think Mam's been using her diprobase cream for a while). The nurse is going to ensure that the carers once a day put a cream on her to moisturise the skin on her legs.
Mam again mentioned the issue about two members of staff being not very nice. I think that she said that one of the sisters had sorted it out and told me not to do anything else.
This is a little more serious: Mam had a fall last night around 8pm whilst she was coming out of her en-suite bathroom/toilet. She didn't have a blackout, she said. But she did say that she found using the bathroom toilet there difficult - which is something I suspected might be the case. I don't know where the on-site Occupational Therapist is based. Can somebody maybe give them a phone and ask if something can be done to coach Mam in getting into and out of the bathroom?
