Hi to all,
[Removed by Moderator - Personal Information] I was phoned where me where my Sister is an inpatient because of Schizophrenia and Dementia she can no longer walk keeps falling over because of the above.
I am going to Visit her on xmas day but dont think her condition will be very good because of her mental health they R not really doing anything to help her only using a wheelchair to move her from place to place in the nursing home.
I dont know what needs to be done next for her and what can be done i think she is nearly at the end of her life and i wont like seeing her like this.

Hello @sparklebright628
So sorry to hear your sister is unwell. Just to let you know, I removed the location just to keep your information private
If you do not think they are doing what is best by her, you can make a complaint, or you could even reach out to her GP and your local MP for support and a path on what you could do next.Hannah - She / Her
