Dear All,
Hope you’re all not too bad today.
I need to pick your collective brains. At what point do I contact social services regarding care packages. Dads still in hospital-week 4 and will be moved to the local one soon. I read in his folder the 15th Dec, but it’s depend on a bed being available. I thought the hospital would come to me with options., am I totally wrong? The deputy charge nurse was asking today what my thoughts are regarding dad moving home or care home. I think he wants to go home. She said that he can’t stay in hospital indefinitely. I understand that. She sounded ***** and was not helpful regarding how dad is. Probably, stressed and overworked.
He’s still catheterized , hardly eating, not drinking much, hence UTI, severely constipated and leakage (sorry!! ), sundowning, spends most of the day in bed or a chair. Gets confused when tired .The nurse Didn’t seem too bothered about constipation, said because he’s not eating nothing is moving through.
Thanks again for listening. Dad’s in Scotland.
