I haven't posted for a while as mum went into a care home last year and seemed to settle reasonably well. However she is increasingly refusing help with personal care and also more often than not refuses to take her medication. The care home she is in together with sw and cpn have decided that she would be better placed in a nursing home. Obviously I am sad about this but I do believe it will be in her best interests and also those of the staff as she can become quite violent. The sw said that as it is a nursing home mum wouldn't have to make any contributions out of her pension as she is now. Does this mean that she won't receive any pension. She also receives pension credit at the moment so I am sure that that will stop.
