more on my dad following on from previous post
following on from previous post. As his daughter we have had no guidance re DWP, how adult care services work or anything. Everything I've wanted to know or get done I've had to ring and hassle people for, or read up on through this forum. I managed eventually to get him some physio however it was too little too late and dad wont walk again. He had no physio in hospital even though he was in there 3 weeks and all they said was we cant do anything because he's 6 weeks non weight bearing. Then when we do get a physio, [9 weeks after his accident not 6] 5 of the 6 exercises the physio did were non weight bearing so why he couldn't have been doing these from the start I don't know !
Dad does suffer from memory loss/ confusion although he has not had a proper assessment for dementia and this has worsened considerable since being admitted to the care home.
He is due for an assessment in 4 weeks [we know this because we had a phone call to say his bed had been extended] and we expect the result to be full time residential care or care at home might be possible although it will have to be extensive.
I have just realised I've rambled on in a thread to do with attendance allowance. I do apologise. If this needs to be moved, those that can please do so. And thanks for reading !
