All 4 acute hospitals in my area have announced a business critical incident. There are no beds, A&E full, corridors full, ambulances are queuing. Praying my parents don't need to join the queue 😔 #carer #carent #dementia #ckd

The weather forecast never said it was going to snow in my area. Cue trying to ensure my elderly parents don't slip in a snowstorm on the way to the dentist. Ground icy under dad's walking stick. THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP WEATHER SERVICES 😠 #carer #carent #dementia #ckd

Getting defensive about your staff ratios and pride in service is not taking accountability. Even paid carers don't get it, do they. #carer #carent

Advice for #dementia patients who see people who aren’t there is not to tell them they’re not real.
I’ve not said they’re not real but I haven’t agreed that they are there.
Now I’m being accused of lying!
As a #Carer you just can’t win!

Trip to the GP today as mum has some skin lesions that look dodgy. Apparently just scarring and insists no injury. I feel you need a medical degree to be a #carer for elderly parents #carent
