More chance of bed sores and ulcerations. Bruises could range from rough handling to something like finding a vain.

Sometimes patients can come out of hospital and look fantastic, but the hospital won't bother to keep field staff in sync with any creams/topical used.

I came to a care call once from a bloke who'd been returned from hospital to find him sat in his wheelchair. He's bed bound and DNs request to have limited time in wheelchair due to bed sores; therefore the wheelchair is only used for transfers. They hadn't even bothered to put him back into bed. I think he'd been sat in his wheelchair for two hours.

Well maybe bed sores but ulcerations? thats not good, were they aware you were on the way seems like they were banking on you doing it. Were you lifting alone? if he had fallen you would have been responsible. It's not fair for them to put you in that position, I would report it.
