Hello all, and i hope it's OK to post here rather than in long thread.
Dad had CHC awarded earlier this year, what swung it was the behavioural aspect of his disease, he scored the necessary severe on behaviour and cognition and a moderate I think on meds needs as being well medicated for his diabetes seems to make a difference to his levels of aggression.
In the last 8 weeks or so his disease seems to have progressed a lot. He has lost weight (despite eating well) is doubly incontinent, falls very easily. After one fall he became a lot weaker and less mobile. He no longer tries to run out of the house at every opportunity. He can still lash out when people try personal care.
He has all day carers and lives with my brother.
One week ago he was taken into hospital after yet another fall, the ambulance service felt he was not safe in his current home environment. he's still in hospital.
I have been informed by the care agency the CCG want to review. I've been invited to attend a meeting this friday.
I will be visiting Dad in hospital tomorrow, what are the things i should look out for/ what information should I gather to hopefully back up his CHC being continued. Many thanks, Helen
