Well, mum is bring discharged into the care home tomorrow.
Luckily the hospital sw has been good and has helped,recommending,and then phoning carehome and me,
I am still no clearer really on mum's assessments or physio, the care home went in this morning to assess mum,and said she would have to be on first floor where pwd need more help.
They cited the fact mum seemed fixated on mountains today..but seeing she grew up in wakes and played on the mountains ..
Mobility wise I have no clue, as I haven't seen her out of bed.
Instead of respite the care home said four weeks trail was a better idea as after that they or we could decide..also possibly she could have ground floor room if she seemed more capable or needed less help.
So have gone with that,
So many forms to fill,and stuff to sort.
I am praying she will be ok, i already asked if there could be a sign on the ensuite toilet door..after all,mum will not know its a toilet when on her own and its just a door same as the cupboard door next to it..
Also asked how far window opened..as it was open..i had visions of mum climbing out to escape ..feel worried,but at same time relieved she wont be going back to an empty house to fall again, she needs 24hr monitoring really
So tomorrow big day, i have hopes mum may ley them do her hair and be seen by s chiropodist as i couldn't keep on top of her feet and nails.
Plenty of visitors coming and going,so fingers crossed mum will be ok. I will be going in to take her bits and bed guard tomorrow.
it will be "temporary" to her, not sure what happens if it doesn't work out,
Had to pay in advance for the four weeks,so now need to sort DD..if she stays..
But with the respite they said the room would be retaken after the respite period,and they may not have another room to extend stay..
Time will tell.
