Hi they phoned about 2 hours ago to say mental health team were sending someone to assess mum. They said they will then make decision on where to send her, hospital, secure unit or respite! I will be devastated if they send her to respite.
At least there's an update then. Hopefully its sectioning, please don't be devastated if its respite, honestly thats not a bad outcome as a few have outlined above. If i'm honest, a secure care home setting is better (nicer) than a secure dementia unit but at least they will likely have a DOLS so she can't leave and then they can review her medication so that she can possibly come home after, or a further decision can then be made x
