This is my first post, I joined today.
My mother lives in France. Her partner passed away at the end of last year she has lived in a hospital in France since then. We were not aware that my mothers condition was as advanced as it is.
We want to bring her home to the UK, she requires 24 hour care. We have a brief report from her doctor in France:
"Thus in the psychological point of view she has an Alzheimer's disease has a moderate stage
The spoken language is ease in English. She does not speak French
She has disorders(confusions) of the recent and former(old) memory
She forgets as one goes along
She is disorientated in the time and in the space;
She adapted well herself to the life in community. She does not like remaining alone, she looks for the contact.
She walks with no problem at all and without risks of fall.
She gets dressed only
She needs help (assistant) for have a wash (shower and Shampoo). Sometimes she can confuse he toothpaste and the cream
She is urinary and faecal continent
She is unable to manage her medicine, her money. She cant decided by herself about administrative decisions. In France she is under guardianship.
She cannot assure(insure) the domestic spots.
I think that Mary cannot live alone. She can live in a retirement home or to one of her children"
I have been in contact with social services who will not commit if they will care for her. We cannot, as we have a small house and 3 young children.
While it feels unethical, can i bring her back to the UK, take her to my local hospital and get her assessed and cared for.
She has a pension of around £800 per month and cash amount of around €10,000.
I am worried that social services will not take her in and we will be left to take care of her which is impossible.
Leaving her in France is and option, she will be well cared for but we would like her to be near us, she has no friends or family in France.
Many thanks in advance for your help and advice
