You said in a previous post that SW would not be getting any input from you.I'm a bit confused tbh
SW as Dad hasn’t any capacity need an advocate or LPA present. My OH works away so it was Advocate or LPA- the SW doesn’t communicate with Advocate or LPA cutting the family out.
I have had to stand back from this situation as I have been taken into hospital several times over the past few months with health complications- I am registered disabled with ongoing health issues.
The safeguarding issues with Dad tipped the balance & my OH ( LPA) & daughter ( became her Grandads Advocate ) stepped forward after experiencing the authorities attitudes towards myself. Safeguarding is still ongoing, we haven’t heard a thing from the safeguarding team, home, GP, etc
after the OT & SALT team raised more issues with safeguarding about Dads situation- nothing has changed. We still visit to find the home trying to feed him with his head on his chest in the lounge, the OT reported this issue to safeguarding herself she was so concerned by it.
Trying to step back from this situation is totally impossible- as I am the liaison point. No one else coordinates anything- not the CH, GP, etc.
Palliative Care should be in place but it isn’t.
At the end of the day this is my darling Dad. The man who adopted & raised me as his own. The person who unconditionally loved me. Wiped away my tears, showed me how to climb trees, take a car engine apart & put it back together, lifted me up to show me the first birds eggs in the nest- the list goes on.
I cannot in all decency just leave him to be treated like this- it’s appalling at the home’s& the district nurse arrogance & that they feel it’s acceptable to cut family out of decisions.
So I cannot voice my concerns face to face without these so called professionals pulling rank - but neither can I let my Dad be in pain - still not being given his oromorph when he needs it!
TBH I can’t see how anyone couldn’t understand the emotion of not being able to just step away
