Dumped back at home

The lovely 101 year old gentleman I help look after was discharged from 2 months in hospital on Saturday. In distress he rang his lifeline and they called me. I found him in his home sitting on the sofa surrounded by his bags. No one had made him a cup of tea, sorted his belongings or made sure he was ok. They just dumped him there. And now we find he wasn't sent home with enough catheter bags. I've had to chase up with the GP. There's little basic compassion and care in the NHS now.
