Mum has been in hospital for 7 weeks and has deteriorated dreadfully - she is pretty advanced into the disease and becomes very distressed. She is due to leave hospital on Monday to go to a new nursing home. She won't know the people transporting her and she won't know the people in the new home. I have been told i can't go with her in the transport. Mum is no different to a child and im sure they wouldn't send a child without a family member. I don't have transport so won't be able to get to the Home for at least an hour avd half after she does. I don't know the Home or staff either. When i asked the person arranging transport whether she had told them mum has advanced dementia she said no that isn't relevant. Another example of where hospitals don't have an understanding of dementia at all. I have email the patients advice service and there is no sister on duty so u am stuck as ti what to do. At least im not an elderly spouse trying to support mt loved one but this isn't right and its poor mum who will suffer. My brother had learning disabilities and when he left another hospital i was able to accompany him so if they can allow it why not this hospital
