    Well if you think the state pension is €400 and something euro you're in for some shock in a few years caller.

    €450 per week state pension? More than the basic, then.

    They took her pension and took all of it except €48 in cash, how much does this guy think the home were going to charge for their services??

    Is this issue really worthy of the national airwaves?

    On an awful big high horse this lad. Not sure why they are giving this lad so much time.

    If, for example, all the residents were leaving cash scattered around, I can see why the management might like to get that under control.

    Is this the worst run of Liveline shows in the history of the programme (I know, big statement that).

    I cant remember the last time there was any bit of (unintended) entertainment.

    I'll give it another 15 minutes and I'm out for a few weeks after that if there isnt something thats not totally and utterly boring.

    Not all, by any means.
    Some people don't magically become saints when they pass 70, you know.

    I really dont see how this man feels that blackening the name of the home is being tarnished because of this relatively minor issue is in the best interest of anybody.

    Beet this fella is a pain in the behind and how stupid to come on the airwaves and criticise the people looking after his mother what did he hope to achieve apart from a lot of ill will. Idiot.

    You will find that the mother is telling the son one thing and the nursing home something else. Happened with my father.

    Is the thread not working for anyone else? Can't load the last page.....

    If I was the last caller, I'd be screaming blue murder! How dare the home take over from that lady (in the first instance) and her direct family (as the first sub) and hold on to her money? :eek:

    And how did you think you would have any sort of objectivity in making that particular judgment?

    Lets do the maths

    If this Hospital care home withholds 48 euro each week that is 2496 euro per year.
    If they can withhold 2496 euro from say 25 patients that is 62400 per annum.

    Average stay of those patients could be 6 years, therefore thats 374400 euro withheld from 25 patients over 6 years.

    Thats just by with holding 48 euro per patient.
