i have become aware of a difficult situation and would appreciate some feed back on the view of what i should do, if anything about the situation. its fairly long winded but i would appreciate any advice. (sorry about the spelling)
The patient is a married women with physical disability of walking long distances due to an acident years ago.
Her husband works long hours as finantually they are not well off.
She needs carers three times aday to help with personal cares.
A spacific carer started looking after her 1 year ago and they became good friends.
The carer left her husband and moved in with her patient and her family and stoped caring for the patient on a perminant level, doing personal cares only when the agency could not get anyone else due to shortness of staff.
The husband was grateful as being away at work he was concerned that his wife would get lonely.
However it has come to my attention that the carer is sharing a bed with the patient nightly.
The husband got suspisions and accused his wife of having an affare with the carer ( although he did later appologies he says he still feels something is wrong with the relationship between his wife and her carer). The patient says she could never forgive her husband for saying such a thing and is devorsing her husband.
The husband is angry and feels the carer has abused trust. there is a 30 year age gap between the carer and patient and the husband is confused as to what to do if the carer leaves his wife to persue a relationship.
The patient and carer deny a sexual relationship but they sleep nightly together in a single bed and the patient does not like to go anywhere without her carer.
This is basically it and i dont know what to do, if anything.
I dont think what has happened is right but i dont know where i stand in this situation.
