I am a care worker. Today I have been on an early shift. One of my clients had slept in her glasses, earing-aid and denture. The problem with this lady is that she had had an ulcer due the fact she would sleep in her earing-aid. I have reported on this many times, but the managment team would simply not listen to me. Another client has complain about cold today, for he had been woken up in the morning only to be left in his shirt (no socks on either) in the middle of the lounge (today I have had to put socks on everybody). And Mr. Thomas, another resident, has slept in his last night's dirty underpants (the clean ones had been left kicked to the side in his bed but one of the Home's managers had told me not to put it down in the report). I am scared, really, and I really do not know what to do. Though I am a first degree holder in Philosophy, I would not ask for qualifications in order to do this kind of job, but I do think a Home manager should have some kind of qualifications.
