I am sure I have read this somewhere before but have been trying to find it again so if anyone knows and can sign post me I would be grateful.
As I understand it someone is discharged from hospital into a temporary care home placement as in my LO's case. she had advancing Alzheimer's was hallucinating, had multiple hospital admissions (12 in a 6 month period due to UTI’s falls and self-neglect ) and was under the leg ulcer clinic for bad Oedemas, from what I have read in the framework from what I understand they should have carried out a check list. But if they did I (her only relative knew nothing about it, was not informed)
I think I have read somewhere in the past that they are supposed to do this assessment and involve relatives/carer.
Can anyone help with my question?
Thank you and regards
