My dear pa (dementia with psychosis) suffered a sudden deterioration at Christmas. After a stay in hospital he developed hospital induced delirium. He went in walking, talking, kicking and screaming and came out bedridden and with his eyes permanently shut. He went to live with my brother but my brother has a fiancee and to cut a long story short, they have decided to return my pa back to his home, 60 miles away from them and us.
I think pa is coming to the end. He needs us and I want him with me.
So far I have found out it I possible to move him by private ambulance but that's all. I need help with the practicalities. He has a proper big bed that does stuff which the hospital provided. Would I need to give it back as he would be moving to a different county and how could I get a replacement from the NHS is advance? Is there anyone who can help me regarding visits as he is bedridden or is it private help only? I just want to make 100% certain I can look after him properly.
Any advice?
