Hi my Dads been in hospital after having a fall for nearly 2 weeks. He’s ok from fall but had an infection and then even worse confusion. Now incontinent, can’t feed himself or walk unaided. The social worker called Saturday to say hosp are pushed and need the beds. I totally get that but when I saw my Dad on Saturday he still looks awful and no where near being able to leave. He’s going to have to go to a care home as my mum will not be able to cope. He’ll be self funding for a time.
I need to speak to a Dr today as I’m assuming the infection they were treating has cleared up now if they’re trying to discharge him. I hadn’t even got round to asking for a needs assessment or best interests meeting, as he seemed so far off being well enough to leave, it all feels very rushed. Any help support appreciated. Thank you
