Is anyone on this forum familiar with the 6 week rule and care homes
The hospital say my Mother MUST be placed in a care home
However I understand that after 6 weeks a formal visit is made by the Social worker with the family in attendance and just 1 question is asked
Do you want to stay here or Do you want to go home ?
We cannot fund a care home without selling her home and this needs to be done PDQ
Insurance is invalid oif the property is not occupied every 40 days
Insurance is invalid if doors are not locked etc etc ........so if Mother went wandering as she is wont to do !!!!!!!!
Also Social Servcices will insist on fitting grab rails everywhere
removing her favourite low chairs and replace them with high seated ones etc etc
All of which my Mother would scream blue murder about
As many have said " they do not want to be the one who tells my Mother she cant go home to her own home
