Good morning, I am new to this group as I have no idea what to do next for my mum who has Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia. She was just about managing in her own home but then last month ended up in hospital where there has been rapid deterioration. Long story short after trying 4 times a day care at home (lasted 36 hours) they have said mum needs to go to a care home for assessment. Unfortunately all the care homes that we have approached have turned her down as they feel she is unpredictable, doesn’t take her medication and requires 1:1. I have tried filtering the care home uk site to match her needs but the care homes that have refused her appear in the filtered list.
Do I go to the discharge team in hospital and ask them to give me a list of homes that might take her? This worries me though as they could be miles away. Sorry, not really sure of the process but need to get her out of hospital and equally worried about what comes next in relation to her care.
