I feel let down and at the end of my tether. The whole situation is a bloody nightmare.
My mum should be in the nursing home that I chose now but due to the bloody hospital deciding she didn't need or qualify for nursing care and not listening to the CPN or social worker who have known her for 2 years she went to a residential home instead. Now she's kicking off every day wanting to go home, crying inconsolably, refusing medication, assaulting staff, escaping, disrupting the other residents every day and night, taking up too much time of the very limited staff they have on and to top it all off now they've completed a nursing assessment and once she's awarded nursing care funding she'll have to move to a nursing home.
The nursing home I chose no longer has any vacancies and it was the only one I would consider sending my mum to. There is a severe lack of EMI beds/homes in my area. I'm going end up having to send her to a nursing home I didn't particularly like and that didn't meet all the requirements on their CQC assessment.
Even if she's awarded Continuing Care she might not qualify after she has the 3 month reassessment so I can't even run the risk of putting her in a nursing home outside my local authority that i liked as if the Continuing Care is taken off her I can't afford the top up.
It's all a disaster.
