My mum & dad have a live in carer, they're both frail and dad can be stubborn. The firm that provides the live in has started to send a second carer in at night to help put dad to bed as the live in needs help. Problem is Dad doesn't like any of the second carers and won't go to bed when they're around. I met one of them when I was there the other night and she said that she can't force him to go. The care manager is now getting the hump and insisting that the second carer must get him to bed .As he's not been assessed as not being mentally competent can she force him to go to bed or would this be abuse? I'm just worried about Dad
