My mum has been is hospital for nearly 3 weeks. She was admitted with a chest infection and a broken arm.
Mum has not eaten for the 3 weeks and not drinking much at all.
The doctors say she would be better of at home in her own environment as she is well enough to go home where she may start to eat and drink again in familiar surroundings.
We have to now wait for the occupational health to assess the home for equipment we need and the social have to be involved when they are short staffed in the mean time mum just gets worse while we are waiting for all this to be put in place. They think she is in the later stages of dementia and if that's the case we want her home.
We have no support net work its just me and dad and don't know where to go from here!!!!
Also they are not getting her medication into her so she seems to be very withdrawn.
Lots of people have read my post has anyone gone through the same or got relatives in hospital at the moment.Need advise where can we get support.
