We've been to look at nursing homes today. I knew they had to assess Mam before she moved into one but didn't realise that they would come to Mam's home to do this. Is she likely to suss out what's going on through this? We haven't mentioned anything about care homes to her as she's adamant she's to stay in her own house. What else is likely to happen before she moves? How long between the assessment and the actual move.
We have narrowed it down to 2 homes. Neither are in our town as there were only 3 that could cater for her needs. One has a long waiting list, one was very grim and the other wouldn't show us round as they didn't have enough staff as they had an emergency (decided that this wasn't good). They told us to come back on Monday. I don't drive but one of the good homes is handy for public transport. The other one isn't but the staff are very well qualified and there is 1 member of staff to 4 residents which is the best we found.
