My husband has Huntington's so his mental capacity isn't what it used to be, to cut long story short
Had a fall in hospital, ended up in assessment care home as S/s wanted him home,I didnt. Couldn't care for himself, had a 10 min Ass by phone So ended up in there 3 bus rides away. He gets left in bed not washed or dressed food in bed on floor soiled pads 3 times have found him like this. His treats on table is far away that he hasn't touched them in days remote for TV is next to TV uses a Zimmer but carnt reach.I asked him did he want to go closer to me and kids he agreed. got him a place closer to family but S/S spoke to him day before THEN had a (meeting) with me said no he didnt want to go, I said if I was to visit with him to other care home he could see for himself, she then pointed out it would be coercion under Mental health act if I took him. OMG this is a social Worker who stood in his room ignored state of his filthy bed food on floor and me raising concerns.
What can I do except give up.
