My mum has always lived at home with my dad but recently she has become aggressive on occasions when she can’t leave the house. She came to stay with me for 10 days as she refused to go home and went into a dementia home for 2 week emergency stay and assessment of her needs. The home said they was unable to cope with her behaviour as she became violent due to not being allowed out of her room because of isolation period (covid) mental health day she needs to be treated in a mental hospital under section 2 . I have asked why she can’t go to a more suitable dementia nursing home where they have mental health training and qualified staff and they don’t seem to give me an answer why they feel a mental hospital is the best option. I don’t feel they have my mums best interest and I feel it’s an easy option to pass her on to another department (such as from community to hospital) Someone has visited my mum from mental health once and changed her medication and all other communication has been over the phone with the lodge
