Hi
My husband he’s beeen described by the staff on the acute dementia inpatient ward where he is currently staying, as having complex needs and needing one to one support in a care home now he is medically ready to leave their care. He was admitted 4 months ago under section 2 and then section 3 of the mental health act, Local socIal services have offered 2 homes for me to look at but I am not happy with them. One has a very poor CQC report and the steps in the building will result in a high risk of falls. it is dark and full of long narrow corridors with little outside space. The other was so noisy when I visited that I had to leave. Shouting and loud noises are a trigger for my lovely husband to become agitated. Hours of online searching and making calls has not helped me to find other suitable homes to look at. Online they say can meet complex needs but when I visit and explain his needs homes say they cannot accommodation one to one support ie his needs are too great. Can anyone recomend a resource that would identify suitable homes ie those that can meet complex needs in a calm person centred supportive environment. He is in his early 70’s and physically fit and well.
