Overall Experience
Were tasked to provide waking night care for my mother with severe dementia in order to keep her safe in her own home. The first issue was with a carer who frequently argued with my mum and, on more than one occasion, fell asleep and a mutual agreement was reached to provide a new carer. On reporting this back to social services they neglected to mention the falling asleep aspect, which is a severe safeguarding issue.
2 weeks ago they dropped my mother's care package after having reports from a carer that my mum was "too demanding", "argumentative", "abusive" and that my mother had scratched a carer (mum has very long nails) - these are all classic signs of dementia and any staff working for an agency providing dementia care should be adequately trained to deal with these aspects.

I requested a written report as to why the care had been dropped but this was refused and I was told that they would be having no further dealings with me. I am, therefore, left with no choice but to leave a bad review.

Reply from R Marks, Director at Ark Nursing and Care Agency

Thank you for your feedback and we would like to apologise for any distress that we caused when we had to cancel the package of care with the local authority for your mother. Sometimes this unfortunately does happen and we would like to assure you that we did everything that we could to try to continue covering the shifts.
