My father was admitted to hospital last week with Sepsis. When he arrived at A&E he was photographed and found to have multiple bed sores grade 2 and 3. The grade 3 sore is of undetermined depth due to slough in the wound. Apparently slough prevents you from measuring the depth of the pressure sore but it has to be a minimum grade 3. The hospital have raised a safe guarding issue and are refusing to discharge him to his care home when he is medically fit.
Social services are looking for a new home. My father can not walk, feed himself, is double incontinent and can no longer communicate. He will also lash out during personal care.
He is fully funded and has continuing health care. The Council are saying they will struggle to find him a care home which will meet his needs for the price they’re prepared to pay.
In these circumstances what will happen? My father was sectioned on a 117 and has a DOLs in place so it’s not like they can send him home...
