Lack of communication

"Lack of communication"

About: Croydon University Hospital / Older people's healthcare

(as a relative),

I find the care on the ward chaotic. It feels like the staff I have met are not caring, language and attitude are bad.

The Doctors have explained what is wrong but medication was changed. The things that she was to have to help her did not materialise and we felt there was a lack of communication

My mum has dementia, staff knew this but spoke to her as though she was normal. I found there to be lots of office politics with the nursing staff.
