mum is in hospital aftter a hip break and then dislocation . That seems to be on the mend although she is very week , Previouslyy has had several falls and i can see no reason why that would not be the case that she has a fall risk now.
Her short term memory is bad. Not recogniing her granddaughter , Asking repeated questions. Fixated on where her bank books and money are . Thinking people will steal from her etc .
She has never been assessed . tho the hospital said she was under their person without capacity ruling at present. We have LPA .
Up till today the plan has been discharge to access for 6 weeks then probably residential care home. The family are quite happy with this and we thought DTA was a good way to ease her into the care situation . She is very happy to go to DTA.
Now this afternoon a doctor said that because she was living alone with no care it might be too big a change for her to go to residential care home. and maybe we should try 4 visits a day at home.
I am at a loss to why they think she could manage to not fall in the 20 odd hours a day she will be alone .
