    I'm so sorry to hear about your sister @Sparklebright63

    I've never had to put in a complaint about a care home before, but AGE UK have put up advice on their website that I think is very helpful.

    Hi @Sparklebright63 does your sisters care plan reflect the help she needs in the bathroom. If so then you can them complain it wasn't followed. If they don't have a care plan then every home should be following this. If you get no joy contact

    It should also be put into an accident book you can ask to see this

    Hi Sandy 123.

    I am going up next weds for a meeting with the staff to see what is going to be done about their lack of supervision.
