Hello,
I am a new member and this is my first post and I am hoping to get some advice.
Mum suffers from alzheimers and was admitted onto an EMI unit in a home in Cardiff in July. She was assessed by the LA and as far as I am aware, they are responsible for paying her fees (I live in England and so my sister deals with all her affairs). Since being taken into the home, she has had numerous falls, one of which resulted in fractured ribs and a bleed on her spleen.
I received an email from the home to advise me that they think mum would benefit from 1 to 1 care 24/7 (implying that this was due to her many falls) and have quoted a figure of £12 per hour in addition to normal costs paid to the home. So at this point in time, I am very confused as I thought any change in fees would need to be discussed with the LA as they are responsible for paying for her fees?
Can anyone offer any advice please?
Many thanks.
