My partners mum is due to be assessed next week by social services. She has early to mid dementia which seems to be worsening weekly, she has breast cancer which is being treated. She is 91 with very poor mobility, she can not walk unaided but she can walk with a frame. She is starting to have a few toilet issues I think because she cannot get to the toilet quick enough. She has had type two diabetes for 40 years and has non life threatening chronic kidney disease I think stage 2 due to the long term diabetes. She has eye issues, one cataract op on one eye was done but she's too frail for other eye. She's on daily she drops due to glaucoma. She can no longer cook or make tea for herself. She has carers once in the morning to get her up and washed. She does this herself with many prompts and assistance. The most worrying this is she sleeps all day and night apart from eating and drinking when prompted. Her son looks after her. She lives in his house, she has no savings or property herself. Her son no longer wants to look after her. He is struggling and has now been prescribed with anti depressants. His doctor has told him he is not responsible for his mum and that social services would need to make care provisions for her. They have mentioned that she could go into assisted living, although they have not seen her yet. He does not think this is suitable. He wants her in a nursing home where she is safe as he doesnt like leaving her at all now but primarily so care staff and residents would interact with her. My understanding reading other threads is this doesnt happen in assisted living especially someone as frail as my partners mother. She does nothing for herself at all. Please help, he's crumbling and at his wits end!
