My parent was admitted to Geraldton Regional Hospital recently, discharged same day then re admitted a couple of days later. Unfortunately this was the exact same time that I travelled interstate for my relative’s last week and subsequent VAD.
On arrival back to Geraldton my parent was still in hospital, barely showered, no mouth care attended nor teeth cleaned for entire admission. I took in toiletries around a week later and they are yet to be used. My parent, in the meantime, has now contacted hospital acquired Rotavirus.
Upon visiting my parent recently I enquired where I could wash my hands and the nurse looking after my parent offered aquium hand sanitizer. When I informed them of the need to use soap and water for rotavirus they questioned me. No wonder rotavirus is spreading through the hospital!!!!!
This is all basic nursing care and should be attended. No one appears to be offering water, helping with feeding my parent or general help to enhance their recovery. I’m sure they need the bed.
"Poor nursing care"
