Mum is coming to live with us from next Tuesday. We have discussed it with her and she agrees she is not coping, forgetting to eat etc etc. I have told SS as the carers calls need to be stopped. Her SW came to see her today to make sure its what she wants. Mum was in quite a bad state, health wise, sweating and really tired. She does not have an infection, its been how she is for some time now and isnt helped by her terrible diet. At least if she is here I can be sure she is eating better and more regularly.
Thing is that when she comes we have told her the house will have to be sold as she is incapable of looking after it any more. If we cannot cope at any time she will go into a home, this is what she wants and is looking forward to it.
The SW is now wanting to visit again, before she moves in to ask her if she knows what is involved, selling up etc. I feel its a little intrusive but know they have her best interests at heart. Is this normal, for them to be so involved. Can they stop the sale? They want her to stay at home but she hates the carers coming into her 'space' and wants to live with us as she feels safe here. I want the best for her but feel they dont believe me.
