We have a Best Interest meeting tomorrow with the hospital and the multidisciplinary team. Mum got admitted just after Xmas with extreme agitation/anxiety probably caused by UTI and chronic constipation. Things now have settled down and it is time to go home. Mum is desperate to go home but most of the advice we’ve been given is suggesting it may be time for a care home. One option to get her home - where she wants to be - may be companion care/live-in carers and I wondered if anyone could advise on the feasibility of this. The hospital and Alz professions have warned that it is fraught with difficulties e.g. finding a suitablely qualified carer, sorting out cover for when they have time off, covering in emergencies etc. Mum would be self funding and I imagine resistant to having someone in her house initially (sigh). Any advice would be great and also guidance on the practicalities of live-in care. Mum has frontotemporal dementia, her memory and awareness is good but she struggles with cognition.
