Poor level of social care support for my mum

The first point of contact with Norfolk County Council was this woman who was wholly unapproachable. She dictated to me what my mother needed and when I tried to say things that would be helpful she said "I know exactly what your mother needs" is a horrible tone. The first social worker we has was inexperienced and had no insight into dementia. They then offloaded my mother's care onto another case worker as soon as possible. After my mother was discharged from hospital she was assigned a First Choice carer to help with re-enablement. The carers she had were shocking! One stunk of vodka when she came round once. Another time she rang my mother and said she couldn't come round so asked if my mother could put herself to bed. My mother said it was okay and then slept in her chair all night until I found her the next morning. I now try not to contact them if I don't have to because I know it will be painful. I also find other's are experiencing the same issues at the support groups I go to.
