Thanks for pointing out it is a matter of economic issues personal to you and not the norm.

A fair attempt. 6/10.

It's bad reporting. Simple. I have worked in rehab hospitals. They are very good, caring places. Residents, notice the word resident and not patient, get very good care and are extremely well looked after. Nothing about that in the article. Now, when there was something in conversation regarding engineering, you decided to use your experience to prove some posters were wide of the mark. Now it's me that has the experience. Just let others that know explain.

Regardless, it is misleading. It's a tactic used by the media to grab attention. Attention to something that, to the trained eye, is not what it seems.

I agree. Alzheimer is a form of dementia. As symptoms worsen, care and support is much better at a place designed for such care with trained carers. There are protocols to follow such as SALT, DoLs, Mental Health Act, Safeguarding. If either of my parents develop such symptoms, our family will take care the best we can for as long as we can. However, and we have spoke openly about this, all parties agree there will become a point where the health and safety of all involved will mean, eventually, needing to seek care in a residential home.

I didn't say 12 hours with no breaks. As you pointed out, carers usually only stay 1 to 1.5 hours. That's 3 to 4.5 hours a day per client. Usually carers would visit 2 or 3 clients in a day, depending on their shift. Domicilliary care is very flexible. I've supported clients for full 12 hour shifts. I've also supported 3 or 4 in a day. It's totally up to the carers what hours they work. Even with the pay rise theyve received, which I apologise for missing, Asda staff are not on £13 an hour.

Having research further, the facility the lady was/ is in is a rehabilitation centre. That is basically a government run and funded nursing home. Like a halfway house for someone who has been in general hospital, is too well to stay there but not well enough to go home or the home where they are going to is not suitable for their needs. Often the wait is for hospital style bed to be fitted, wet room conversation, hoist installation, wheelchair specific to her needs. She was getting the necessary care she needed including; Physiotherapy Occupational Therapy Podiatry Speech and Language Therapy Dietitian Again, thevarticle was misleading as this was not mentioned.

Having read the full article once again, the lady in question mentions she has no family. Therefore, the last part of my comment was not relevant. I also noticed this in the article: " I've just been in bed constantly apart from being hoisted sometimes into a chair - I haven't had my feet on the ground at all," she said.". If she is being hoisted, she has had a full assessment and has been deemed non load bearing. Even if she was at home, her feet still would not be touching the ground. Therefore, her waiting for 12 months for carers cannot be totally to blame. If she needs to be hoisted then her home will need to be converted to accommodate that. Bathrooms particularly need a lot of work, often being converted into wet rooms. The article is misleading on several points. Easily identified by someone with experience in the field.

Why do people feel the need to lie to get a point across? Asda pays £10.90 to their staff. The care company, the one complaining she can't get staff, will receive in the region of £20 an hour from the local authorities. How much are they paying the staff? Also the 4 to 5 carers per day is misleading. They mean 3 visits a day of about 1.5 hours with 1 or 2 carers each time, depending on the mobility of the client. Meaning, on a 12 hour shift, 2 carers per day is sufficient.

I returned to UK with those same hurdles. Easily cleared those hurdles and continued with life in UK. Your searches seem " off". https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/Blackpool.html Add a filter of £600pcm and "House share not wanted" and see 23 properties £600pcm or less. Remember, this is during a so called housing crisis. With high rents and nothing affordable. That wasn't happening when you were there. Prices would gave been cheaper.

Exactly. That's why it's better to know before you get started. Hence, why i asked what was requested of you prior to treatment commenced. It seems you were treated by a non legit masseuse. Hence the bad outcome.

Many people profess to be legitimate Thai masseurs. Many are not. By answering the questions, I could tell you if yours was. I taught English to a small group of Thai massage students. They told me how to tell legitimate from non legitimate. I'm just trying to help. That's all.

Irrelavant to you. That's fine. Why make an irrelevant comment in reply? Keep out of the conversation. That's the best idea.

Perfectly relevant to the conversation we are having. Why not scroll back, have a look and try to keep up?

You've just spent about £1 trillion. Where is the money coming from? At what level of government is social care funded? How much salary and wealth do you think someone in the top 20% has?

When workers come to UK on Tier2 visas, employers have to provide accommodation so mo problems there. If no housing is available, mo overseas workers Two questions. How do you think social care is funded? How would you define "rich"?

Did you check her credentials? Let me ask a question....how and where on your body did she start the massage? Were on on your back, front, side, standing up? Did she get you to do anything first? Stand on tiptoe, stand on one leg?

Yes, it was in my previous post.

I have told you many times about my research. You chose to ignore it. As they say in Thailand " up to you".

The woman admitted she had broken the law and explained why. She was not forced.

You clearly have no idea how social care is funded.

That's already what is happening. 1m unemployed right now. I can't remember the last time it was less than that. There are many, close to the 1m unemployed, that don't want to work.

Maybe you have knowledge of psychology that could explain your selective reading.

Complex? Someone broke the law and got punished according to that law. There are laws I disagree with. Doesn't mean I'm going to go out and break them.

That's not an excuse to break the law and not expect to be punished according to the law.
