Hello Mags, thanks for getting in touch.
We're very sorry to hear about the difficulties you're currently facing.
In relation to your mum's well-being in the care home, you might find it useful to arrange a 'best interest' meeting with the manager and a social worker to discuss the concerns you have and to find a resolution. This would also need to form part of your mum's care plan.
Prior to this meeting, you might want to consider what needs to be put in place in the event that you cannot be there for any reason to do the personal care for your mum.
If you have Lasting Power of Attorney for health and well-being, make sure that the manager and staff are aware of this and have a copy of this in your mum's file.
For further information, advice and support, please contact our National Dementia Helpline - our advisers are available seven days a week on 0300 222 11 22. More information about the Helpline: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/get-support/national-dementia-helpline
We really hope this helps, Mags.
