Pendruccombe House Care Review
Poor Conditions and Care
The author, Abi, rated Pendruccombe House 1 star, expressing disappointment and sorrow with the care provided to her grandmother, who eventually passed away under their care. Over a three-month period, the family member experienced inadequate care, including uncleaned false teeth, falls due to neglected requests to visit the bathroom, and medication misuse.
Inadequate Support and Empathy
Abi's grandmother was not listened to, made to feel guilty for asking to use the bathroom, and struggled in pain due to the lack of assistance. The care assistant doubled her medication, allegedly without proper authorization from a qualified doctor. This led to a significant weight loss and a noticeable decline in her overall well-being.
Final Verdict
The author concludes that Pendruccombe House is a terrible institution, citing the poor care and lack of empathy shown to her grandmother. Abi urges people to avoid this facility, stating that she cannot recommend it in good faith.
