My dad is fit for discharge from hospital and has been for 2 weeks. He is becoming increasingly frustrated in hospital and now showing aggressive behaviour.
I want to try him at home before resorting to one of the local NH.
He has been approved for CHC funding but the person in charge of organizing this seems to be putting every obstacle in our way.
I was told at the last MDT that the ward needed him discharge and to organise care ASAP. I did this and planned a discharge date next week. Thought I have done really well. The company i have arranged is CQC registered and has a number ofCHC clients from other areas.
The CHC man has said I cant do this and need to wait for them to sort it out. They claim there is a needs for another full MDT. This will be the forth one. And given we have easter and so many people need to check their diary, we are looking late April / early may.
I honestly believe it is not in my dad's best interest to stay in hospital. I am concerned he will end up sectioned if I dont get him home asap. I think the ward will back this opinion.
I have to get him out. My gut feeling is just to take him out and hope the funding follows. Am I being naive? i could fund him at home for a month but I dont have a plan B if it is not sorted by then.
