Is there some kind of research or quote I could use as "evidence" to support our fight (not that it should be a fight after all it is a right.....but it feels like a fight) for NHS continuing Healthcare Funded place in a care home for my Dad, that states that Dementia is terminal?
Dad has Vascular Dementia although one doctor recently said it is some kind of Cerebral type now, he recently had a bad turn and collapsed and is presently in hospital and unlikely to ever go back home. He has deteriorated a lot and needs a high level of care and supervision. He is not in the best place. His needs are not being met. He is even being supervised by a security guard because of cut backs and short staff on the ward! we want him out of there asap and want to get on with all the appropriate assessments so need to get together "evidence" (obviously we have some already) But a quote or something showing that Vascular Dementia is accepted as being terminal would help us such a lot......anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
