My Mum is currently in hospital following a fall, and declined considerably in both mobility and cognition since , to the point we don’t think she will be able to come home. She would be self funding but I think she may qualify for CHC, just wondering if it is worth applying, as we have been told he wouldn’t qualify for funding as it is just social care needs and he has savings. Currently she can’t walk more than a few steps and only with help and verbal prompts. Can’t remember she needs to use a frame to high falls risk. She is unable to make any decision and doesn’t know how to or want to ask for help. Transferring is ideally a 2 person job. And basically requires 24 hours supervision for fear of neglect or fall. She is diagnosed with vascular dementia in last year but declined very quickly. Any conversion on the topic has been quickly dismissed as won’t qualify but I am not sure I am being fobbed off. On a separate question should I be looking at nursing care home or just care home please?
