I think the situation with the SS is appalling! I have copied a piece of Pickles53's post to emphasize it. Please take note of the highlighted words and put them in writing - it seems to trigger action when those phrases are mentioned. It must be in a written letter with copies sent to the other professionals so you can prove that you have informed them. Maybe your MP should be alerted.
You could formally write to SS stating all the concerns you have raised here. Use the words 'vulnerable adult at risk' for whom they have a 'legal duty of care'. Tell them your situation, that you have a new job and will not be able to continue offering the same level of support as you have been doing. You will hold them responsible for anything that happens. Send a copy to your nan's GP so at least he is aware. Pressure sores will not get better without skilled assistance e.g. from a regular district nurse visit. Ask for a referral to the Incontinence service if you haven't already done this.
I sounds as if all the other professionals are trying to help and I cannot understand how the SS are ignoring them - especially when you have POA and the solicitor has confirmed she does not have capacity to make decisions in her best interest. You really cannot go on like this - you will be ill. Maybe get the SS to call when you aren't there so they can see her on her own - see that she is wet and unaware of it. I am shocked at the neglect in the hospital.
Also the fact that she may lose her bungalow the longer she stays with you is also a cause for concern. The rent she is paying on it surely is needed for her living expenses at your house. You could take her back there and tell the SS that you could no longer care for her and action would have to be taken, but I know you love your nan too much to abandon her, and it is criminal that such action should have to be taken to get anything done.
Have you tried ringing AgeUK if you cant get through to the AS? Please let us know how you get on
