I have a crisis pending that is difficult to resolve.
A relation who is ill has given me coded messages indicating that he is more ill than he says on the phone. Dee, who is very attached to this relative, has no idea there might be a serious problem.
If the worst happens, I would need to travel South to deal with immediate problems presented:- possible identification, funeral arrangements, house clearance and sale.
Have faced this situation twice already and know how to deal with it by remote control from North Wales after initiating action locally
But this time I have to think about Dee. It would mean leaving her for about three/four days whilst I am away. There lies the problem. Have no idea how to even start this.
• Have told the SW about the problem but she cannot help as we are self-funding but has given me lists of homes.
• The RMN contact at the Memory Clinic cannot help as their bed facility is very limited.
• My free time to visit EMI units is very limited because I can’t leave Dee.. Can’t take Dee with me on Home visits as it would be too upsetting for her and it may not happen in the immediate future anyway.
I need advice please how to tackle the accommodation for Dee for a few days if and when it is needed.
