SISTERS have hit out at the care their 93-year-old mother is receiving at a home.

Judith Henning and Janet Sabancilar are unhappy with the care given to, Hilda Parkes, who has been in Farnworth Care Home for almost two years.

Her daughters claim in the past 12 months, the quality of her care has dropped.

They say this year their mother has been in hospital with a lymph node infection, scabies and pneumonia.

Mrs Sabancilar said her mum was admitted to Wythenshawe Hospital about six months ago and when doctors removed her top to treat her lymph nodes and "the stench was unbelievable".

She said the doctor was shocked it had not been reported by the care home staff.

Mrs Sabancilar said: "It was an infection under her arm. They had to inject and drain it off. They couldn't believe how bad it was.

"It was hard to drain off and my mum was screaming. I had to try and calm her down. How they hadn't seen or smelt it was unbelievable."

Mrs Parkes' daughters claim their mother's clothes are not changed as regularly as they should be and in the past her bedding and clothes have been soiled.

Mrs Sabancilar said: "It's all over her clothes and bedding. We do her washing, and they were making a mess of her clothes."

According to her daughters, Mrs Parkes needs changing or checking four times a day. Mrs Sabancilar said: "They don't put her knickers on her. She has pyjamas and they don't put the bottoms on her because it's easier. It's not nice, it's not nice when someone's proud."

The two daughters say they have been prohibited from seeing their mother in the care home since December, 2017, because of a court order, but take her out of the home about four days a week between them.

Mrs Sabancilar said: "We will send an email telling them the time and will be waiting outside."

Mrs Henning told The Bolton News they have been waiting outside for her up to 90 minutes.

Mrs Sabancilar sent The Bolton News pictures of her mother, including two of her dressed for an outing.

She said her mother's coat was put on back to front because it was easier for staff, leaving the back of her neck cold and exposed.

On Saturday, December 1, Mrs Parkes was admitted to the Royal Bolton Hospital and her daughters said she received treatment for scabies and pneumonia.

Scabies are tiny mites which live and burrow into the skin, laying eggs and causing an itchy rash.

In hospital, there were also concerns Mrs Parkes had a dislocated shoulder, leading to Mrs Sabancilar fearing her mother had fallen or been lifted without a hoist. Doctors later reassured them her there was no dislocation.

Mrs Parkes was discharged from hospital on Wednesday and has returned to Farnworth Care Home.

Judy Molloy, manager at the care home said: "I can't make any comment about any resident at all ­— it's a matter of data protection."

The home was last inspected by the care watchdog in October, 2015, and was rated "good" in all areas.

The home is registered to provide care for 120 people.
