Good Day, I am seeking advise on the best way to return my mother-inlaw to the UK from South Africa. My father-inlaw recently quite suddenly passed away.
They were out in SA for some time and could not return to the UK due to COVID and travel restrictions and isolations, etc. It just just been a very difficult task. My mother inlaw is a UK citizen and worked all her life in the UK and is receiving a UK government pension.
My mother-inlaw is presently in a Frail care centre and been cared for, for her Alzheimers.
We have spoken to the NHS and to Essex Social Care Direct as well as other Alzheimers/Dementia foundations and Facilities with no results. The Essex Social Care Direct told us to take my mother-inlaw to A&E when we land in the UK. Obviously the have no skills or idea what Alzheimers or Dementia is.
Also the The Essex Social Care Direct will not do any form of assessment on line or via zoom. They say it has to be done it the UK and A&E on arrival back in the UK.
Can we fly with an Alzheimers patient and what is the best type of sedation that can be used to reduce the anxiety and stress that will be caused by the flight/travel.
Is there medication that will make the patient sleep for the complete flight from South Africa to UK?
Any advise, information will be appreciated.
