Hello all,
Just hoping for some advice. My lovely gran has been in hospital following a stroke for 6 weeks. The hospital have advised that she now needs full time care, and have recommended moving her to a home. The issue we are having is my uncle is severely disabled and they want to move her almost 2 hours away meaning he won’t be able to do his usual every other day visits.
We have found a suitable care home in the perfect location and they did have beds available, but the hospital social worker seems to be dragging her feet and wanting to send my gran further away from the family.
My question is - we have LPA, so can they move her without our consent seeing as she is now “bed blocking”?
Any advice would be amazing!!!
Thanks!
Meg
