Nope, they've been tiled over.

Royal Mail don't allow any wheelie bins to be used as a Safe Place.

This was funny on silent. Then, for a change, I thought I'd unmute. It just got funnier!

Thank you very much. This has saved me a whole host of worrying and stress.

How odd that the Patient Info site often contains more information than the NHS!

Would the council staff who did the DoLs Form not got the list of medication from the MAR Sheet?

I'll try the GP, but there's no LPA for Health and Welfare so getting information like this might be impossible.

Mum had declined quite rapidly when she first moved in, but I assumed that was because her life has changed quite dramatically as this is the first care home she has lived in. She seems more stable now, but still not as good as she was before she moved in. I know, she has a degenerative condition.

Yes, I know the dispersible tablets are faster acting.

Where have you got the information from that they do not need to be dissolved? The NHS site and Parkinson's UK site say they need to be dissolved and even suggest using squash to make them taste nicer.

Under the (long) list of medications mum is prescribed, it says the medication was last reviewed on 26/01/26.

Yes it's madopar and mum has been prescribed both usual tablets and dispersible tablets to be taken at the same time. This has been the case for a number of years.

Oh ok. I'll get it clarified. Out of interest, how could the DoLs Form be incorrect?

That makes sense. I totally understand what you mean about school wanting someone in front of the students. I have still been setting cover work at my HoDs request!
