I was out & about this morning checking emails as I go when an email from the social worker pinged through saying yes care home all assessed & agreed & we can transfer your mum - tomorrow!!!
Yes thanks... less than 24 hrs notice so we swung round to my mum’s house & got her coat, scarf, gloves & hat as we had severe “coatgate” when she was moved last time.
I then had to ring the discharge person to give my permission for my mum to be discharged & then dropped off the coat etc. My mum wasn’t in a great mood. Yet again struggling with eating lunch & generally grumpy.
We then swung by the care home to check which room had been allocated to my mum , it is one with an ensuite toilet & sink & to check what we needed to bring for her. I have got her a new duvet cover set as she will have a single bed now plus more toiletries & a throw & I will get some photos & other stuff from her home to make it more homely for her.
I’ve asked for the care home to get her a comfy chair to sit in as well which they will sort out. I just need sticky labels now for her clothes & possessions so just about to sort that out.
I can’t believe that it is coming to this but it is for the best, I think she is going to kick off tomorrow but we will visit in the afternoon after lunch & hope she has calmed down by then. She seems very dubious about it all so I am worried.
