My 90 something yo mother has been in Denia hospital twice, broken hip, then cellulitis. Private room c/w en-suite, first stay three weeks. It is still expected here that family will do much of the day to day care, although not medical! I stayed there in her room the first time, and the second time just spent the days ther, returning home after she had settled for the night.
There was always an Auxiliar available if one was needed, and they came and professionally washed and turned her, which I am not trained to do. The medical care was excellent on both occasions, although on the second stay, there were noticeably less staff available for routine tasks and replies to the intercom were less rapid. The food was acceptable, although not brilliant, but suitable for elderly patient with swallowing problems and physically weak.
