Hi
My dad has been confirmed end of life care, he is currently in hospital and was going to transfer back to his care home today for end of life care. I have just spoken to the hospital and now his care home are refusing to take him back due to all the conflicting advise from the hospital!!!!
The hosp bed and equipment is ready in his room, however due to conflicting information they have now refused, this morning they were going to bring him back, but now they are not!!!
I have formerly given notice on his room as of now, as he has to give 2 weeks notice.
I have requested fast track funding and will find out hopefully this afternoon if he will get it.
I think this will be turned down, I have told the hosp today that I will fight this, they call it "elderly care" I say he is dying from Alzheimers!!!! steaming is an understatement.
Anyway I asked if the care home would take him back if extra funded care was put in place, and they still refused........(hospital asked me to do this)........
I am so upset, I really do not need this now!!!!! what a mess!
The hospital is now pushing for me to find a nursing home for him, but I am loathed to make any moves yet and considering I was told this news an hour ago, I cant believe how insensitive everyone is, what a load of politics!!
What do I do now? do I rush and find a nursing home asap? do I take my time and look at them next week? (dad could be passed by then?) I cant believe what a bl**dy mess this is right when we both don't need it!!!
They are going to put his catheter in again as he has not passed urine in 24 hours, and not eaten for drank for 48 hours.
My heart is broken, I cant believe he has been turned away now.......I am in limbo, if I had my way I would leave him in the hosp, but they are pushing for me to get him moved asap, to a nursing home that he does not know, nor they know him...
Can they force me? I have LPOA for finances? so if he is still going to be self funding, then I choose?
I cant believe they would argue about funding at this stage!!! I have my fingers crossed he gets it in the next 2 hours.........
I cant believe this mess sorry, I dont know who else to talk to, and really need advise on this
