My Dad

My Dad was admitted to hospital in April and because of lockdown noone could visit, we couldn't contact the ward and noone thought to contact us until he had been in there for 3 days. Dementia patients don't have mobile phones to call home so something should be put in place so the family get a call each day to inform of their progress. He went in again in August and my Dad liked to sing, when he was crying out in pain the staff thought he was singing?! He passed away in there on 29th September
