    Grandfather with dementia tragically dies after care home staff fail to follow vital instructions

    So true. Not trained and it is just a job. I loved working in Age Care, now 75, but retired last year fully, due to having to work with untrained staff who didn`t care, and a Supervisor who would `Look into it`.
