Know exactly what you mean, TS. Before Dad went into a care home, he had carers four times a day, after a long fight. One of their duties was to cook/provide meals/drinks four times a day. Most of the carers were lovely but their schedule was demanding. I would stock his fridge with 'ready' cooked meals, either bought so date coded or ones that I had cooked for him. I always left a daily meal plan for the carers. Visits were scheduled between 8-11, 11-3, 2-5 and 4-8. Invariably they overlapped so that Dad would have his breakfast at 10.30, lunch at 1.15 and dinner at 3.00. As they were so close together, Dad just couldn't manage his meals. I found that they just took any meal from the fridge, regardless of date. They would use the one that took less time to cook. Each day when I saw him, his file would read 10.30 breakfast, ate well. Lunch 1.15 only half ate his lunch, declined pudding. 3.00 didn't want his dinner. Their last visit, they were not allowed to prepare food for Dad, only a drink. I would see him at approx 4.30 each day and would clear away his untouched dinner and cook him some dinner. I would always leave a sandwich for him and wrote in the log that Dad hadn't eaten dinner, what I had cooked afterwards and could they offer him the sandwich that was ready prepared in the fridge and record whether he ate it. I found that by asking (in the log) them to record what he ate that they usually made a note. At the beginning, I would just leave a note on a pad making the same request but it was ignored. When I wrote it in their official log, it was noted. Ditto, cleaning ad laundry.

Oh bless him
Don't they also have to include travel time in with their visits too? I can't bear to be rushed now never mind how I would feel if I were old or poorly. Thank goodness there's lots of family ready to stand their ground:o:)

Thanks both of you :A I hope they get it back to. As yes they had paid in full. For afternoon tea for 100, then evening hog hog roast with buffet. And puddings. Also a photo booth, popcorn machines and candyfloss machine.
So a lot if money. She paid by credit card so I have told her to phone first thing to see if they can help. And we will worry about caterers after so fingers crossed though not sure where she stands as don't do credit cards

As many have said, the credit card ompany are equally liable for this, she will get the money back, just might take a while. As for what would happen to those people if we on here got hold of them, I doubt if that is repeatable in mixed company:mad::mad:

Reading about all the folks know here flooring kitchens, I have a friend with ceramic kitchen floor tiles, and everything she drops breaks. I have a laminate kitchen floor, we have way too many mugs because they bounce, nothing dropped on this floor has broken, however I dropped a mug onto the veg rack and it smashed:eek:

Rhosy, I think they will be covered under Section 75 as it is over £100. Not much help in the short term but financially should be ok in the long term.

Have been catching up and posting as I went, so sorry if my comment seemed unsympathetic, it wasn't meant that way.
