My Father arrived on a Friday evening (Covid positive) - I was allowed to see him the following Tuesday & he was still in the same clothes he arrived in - based on what we found he had been allowed to sit in his wet clothes longer than I can imagine. We found him in such poor condition & care, hypoxic to nobody's awareness until we drew attention to him immediately & ambulance was called. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
