Thanks for your replies. I haven't heard if a best interest meeting has been called yet but in the meantime does anyone know if the care Home where dad is currently has a DOLs for dad can they stop him moving to Nursing Home?
I wouldn't think so. I agree with others who have replied to you. You need to do what is best for your dad. I was told I had to move dad this time last year and a social worker who was pressing me to move him questioned dad and got him to say he would move but he didn't really want to and when it came to it we had no end of trouble moving him. He never settled in his new Nursing Home and I regret the move now but I was given no option. I had had another Home go to assess him but, in the end, they refused him. The Home near me took him (from 100 miles away) but it wasn't a good move. If it is a good Home then it will be the right thing but it's a bit of a gamble, I'm afraid.Thanks for your replies.

Good luck for tomorrow.Latest update. Had a meeting with a DoLs assessor on Friday and he said we have brought up some safeguarding issues that he will report. Waiting to read the report. I have said that I am willing to be dads RPR and the forms should be sent to me soon. DoLs assessor has said dad should have an Advocate as well. I thought if the person had a RPR then an advocate wasnt needed. The Allocated Social worker has called today to say the Best Interest meeting will be tomorrow afternoon. Does anyone know about have an advocate and a RPR?
That’s Fantastic news! xHad the Best Interest meeting this afternoon and Social worker agrees it is in Dads best interest to move and will be contacting the new nursing home to recommend a quick move. Thank you to everyone on this thread for your help and advice on this.
