Hi
My aunt has LPA for my uncle who has vascular dementia.
A few months ago, my uncle went into a residential home so that my aunt could have some respite.
Since then he has been in and out of hospital and returned to the RH.
He is back in hospital again, incredibly frail and no longer eating. The doctors say that my uncle is now considered 'end of life'.
My aunt is desperate for my uncle to come back home to live his days out there, but the social worker has said she will have to 'wait and see'.
We understand that everyone wants the best for my uncle but his time is running out and it has been so long since my aunt has been permitted to see him for any length of time, let alone cuddle him.
Can my aunt insist that he comes home once he is discharged from hospital?
Thank you in advance.
