I wonder if there are respite centres...Thanks Norm<br /><br />I wonder if there are respite centres in each Trust location but they are like secrets. If so, I don't understand reason behind that...unless Trusts think they are going to get an onslaught of people who have been in acute care and hated it so much they then demand respite???? <br /><br />I really don't know but I think respite care is one option and one that should be there, across the country.<br /><br />Also been thinking about heavy handed approaches of Trusts, which are then followed by them 'washing their hands' of patients. <br /><br />It's very much shit or bust and as with respite care..there must be different ways of providing care (dependant on people's needs).<br /><br />Possibly laziness, lack of funds and the institutionalisation OF STAFF. lolsThat's not my name!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17064348309163649672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436306896448667918.post-79053186779207235342010-07-11T00:01:41.556+01:002010-07-11T00:01:41.556+01:00Comes across as a great respite resource and sanct...Comes across as a great respite resource and sanctuary and glad your Care Coordinator helped you find it. <br /><br />Respite services shouldn't be kept a secret although from your description the respite home garden is obviously gorgeous and a secret you'd probably keep as long they allow you to come back and chill out there playing spot the fishies when the evil demons are holding a reunion meeting inside your head and the wolves are queuing up outside the front door. <br /><br />So well done BLPT/South Essex.<br /><br />As for the two teeny-weenie gripes ,the smoking issue is a no brainer. Forcing people to stand outside the front of a building to smoke in full public view is demeaning and creates a bad first impression and may well annoy the neighbours too. It invites negative attention. Surely the garden would be the best place for people to light up.<br /><br />The bowling issue was probably down to a mistake but it is important that services understand how mistakes and miscommunication within institutions people are unfamiliar with can make people feel they are being singled out for different treatment and/or feel rejected. <br /><br />I grew up in care homes and can relate to the unfortunate situation described here and come on, there may not be a sign above the front door saying 'Respite Home for the Mentally Challenged ' but staff must have some inkling that they are not running a weekend retreat for the over confident and well-balanced. Even great services have room for improvement .Normnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436306896448667918.post-32230974400864677032010-07-10T21:09:47.622+01:002010-07-10T21:09:47.622+01:00No Honey.

Discharge the patient and blame the patient for the behaviours that go with their illness...all the time deflecting any responsibilities they have under a duty of care.<br /><br />It's always about compliant puppies..and that sucks!!!<br /><br />You take extra care and should you feel strong enough, write to MP...or anyone with any clout or capacity to shame these bastards into taking proper responsiblity for care delivery xxxxThat's not my name!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17064348309163649672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436306896448667918.post-41616904711623080862010-07-10T20:53:42.765+01:002010-07-10T20:53:42.765+01:00Oh I thought you were there til sunday?, Sounds mo...Oh I thought you were there til sunday?, Sounds mostly positive which I am pleased about .And that you have a bolt hole now when things get really bad. which is something we all need. <br />Glad you didn't tackle the OT as may burn bridges for future stays not that the way you were treated was right.But it was just a test the water trial visit really was;t it?.
