I care for my elderly mother who was diagnosed with moderate mixed dementia 3 years ago. She lives alone and has council homecare twice daily for meds prompts. I provide all other care. She was admitted to hospital a month ago after collapsing at home and discharged after 12 days with no change to her care plan but declared AWI for 3 months (adult with incapacity) due to short term memory problems. Hospital did refer to local rehabilitation centre where she would have resided for a short time on discharge for full assessment but after initially accepting her they changed their mind. Her GP called it a failed discharge and asked me to contact SW with a view to assessment and possible care home. SW declined to become involved, said care home should be last resort & called GP old fashioned. SW are asking homecare to review her package. Today she has left taps running in her bathroom and flooded the kitchen directly below. Water running down light fittings etc so she is with me overnight. I will contact GP on Monday and ask for referral to older peoples mental health team but I feel we are caught in a bun fight between agencies who are in crisis, but so am I. Mum has previously declined sheltered housing and I had hoped to talk her into moving there this time but after today I realise the dementia has probably progressed too far. She is of opinion she doesn’t need to move or get help as that’s what her daughter is for! Any advice on where I go from here, in Scotland with full POA. Thanks.
