Haven't posted for a while. Mum still in NH waiting for her CHC assessment, apparently there is a long wait. Haven't heard from SS and I haven't contacted them, until I got a call today!!! They want to assess Mum in the NH next Tuesday morning and I'm dreading it because I know they want her home. As I'm still recovering from a nervous breakdown after single handedly caring for her for 4 and a half years, I am not prepared to get involved if they deem she should come home. She is now doubly incontinent, skin like tissue paper, sacrum bed sore (from when she was in hospital) bed ridden, eating hardly anything, like a skeleton, objectionable to everything and no memory to speak of, she can't remember where she lives or what its like even though she says she wants to go home. She needs 24 hour care now.
Any tips or advice on what I should say to SS to reaffirm that she has to stay put and not be sent home? Obviously as Mum is not self funding all they are interested in is saving money not what's in Mum (and my) best interests. Many thanks Sue
