Original feedback for

West Suffolk Hospital


Did not mobilise

My mother has dementia and lives in a home in Bury. She had a fall and was admitted to West Suffolk Hospital. Unlike the care home, the hospital did not ensure my mother was regularly mobilised and by the time she was signed off as ready for discharge following the fall her overall mobility had deteriorated so much that she couldn't be managed at the home and had to stay in! Self inflicted bed blocking.
