Not sure if I should be in another thread with this one folks, please feel free to tell me if so!
My gorgeous mum, 80 with late stage VD/AD, was discharged from hospital yesterday to a nursing home as an intermediate stage placement before my brother and I decide on long term prospects. Ive cared for her for 3yrs, no help, "I can cope", but discharge team really feel mum needs more than I give her now, ie needs 2 to transfer, Im beyond sad, feel lost.
However, the NH manager, who has been very nice, today told me they have to register DOLS for mum. As well as being bamboozled with all changes happening so suddenly, this has become my "sleepless night" topic for today! Does this happen to any resident who goes into care home?
Thank you to anyone reading ...
