After 3 years of looking after Mum and with her full agreement, we have decided that the time has come for fulltime care.
I've called a local care home which has been recommended and given then a full list of her needs, none of which involve nursing. The manager refuses to even tell me if the home is suitable as he has to discuss her case with her social worker first. He says that he needs to discuss her nursing needs which she doesn't have and also her funding.
I've nothing against the social worker but we've met her once and her entire knowledge is based on what she's been told by me!
Has anyone else come across all this when looking for a care home?
