Horrible experience with heritage healthcare Rochdale
I am writing to provide feedback on my experience with Heritage Healthcare Rochdale, which has been incredibly disappointing and concerning. On a recent occasion, the carers assigned to my mother were over an hour and a half late for their scheduled visit, which nearly resulted in a life-threatening situation for her.
My mother, who suffers from severe health conditions including stoke, and bedridden , lung damage, diabetes, and dementia, relies on timely care for her well-being. Despite the scheduled visit time being 7am, by 8:30 am, no carers had arrived. Instead, NHS workers discovered her in a critical state, with dangerously low oxygen levels and blood sugar due to not receiving her medications and meals on time.
When I contacted the manager, Stacey, for an explanation, her response was shockingly indifferent, suggesting that they couldn't guarantee arrival times and didn't have additional staff to assist. This level of negligence is unacceptable, especially considering it's not an isolated incident; they have been consistently late more than 15 times a month.
I have taken immediate action by reporting this to the Care Quality Commission, providing evidence of their failure to meet basic care standards. I urge other families and patients to reconsider using Heritage Healthcare Rochdale's services and to report any issues to the appropriate authorities.
Attached are images as proof of their tardiness and improper care practices, including feeding my mother in an incorrect position and placing her in a chair improperly.
