Dad has been banned from his church

Just found out from his carers they have been asked not to bring him anymore. I knew he could be restless , get up during service and pick random stuff up. The carers were only taking him for short periods. He has been a church goer for as long as I can remember. I am considering double checking all facts and sending the church a letter of complaint. I would have thought they d show a little more compassion. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

I would double check what exactly he has been doing, perhaps he has seemed distressed? However, if it's simply because of the behaviour you describe then complain away!

I've not had this kind of experience with a church, but have had experience of carers putting a different slant on events when they don't want to do something....I'd think about speaking to the church first to find out the full story before making any complaint...I'm not saying all carers are liars by any stretch, but my family's experience with some carers was horrendous!

How sad for your dad. I've never known anything similar, in fact for the people who I know who need help to go to church, there is often a volunteer rota who help with pickup and drop off. Hope it's just a horrible misunderstanding.
