Hello,
My Mother died recently while in Care and I don't feel I have any idea of how her life ended as feedback from the home was minimal and because of Covid restrictions I could not travel to see her. In fact, I have not been able to see her for over a year! I only know that Mum died without her family around her and that she was asking where I was. It is a thing that is going to haunt me. She had advanced Vascular Dementia and the whole situation must have been very confusing for her.
I am going to apply for Mum's NHS medical records, but for completeness, I would like to get hold of whatever the Care Homes (she stayed in two since Xmas 2020) hold on her.
Can anyone tell me what records I can apply for and how I go about this?
regards
Geoff
