Where an authority opts to try to support someone at home with an informal carer through a package of services to meet the extra needs which the carer cannot or will not meet, it does so, in law, on the basis that it is sure that the environment - which includes the existence and the presence of the carer - is a suitable one for the client.
Now that sounds very interesting to be, because in reality its not true.
I mean what been ****ing me of lately, is they the SS have been very good in supporting me in caring for my mother at home and have a lot of adaptation to our home to help my mother get around in bath shower etc , but then when my mother go to respite they put her in a care home that has no adaptation to help her out of bed or to go to the toilet .
So I phone social worker saying I wanted my mother to go to a respite , but in a nursing home as my mother was in one when I needed emergency respite last year , that nursing home in Fulham is privet , but is part funded by local authority .
I was told by social worker, that they did that for my mother put her there nursing home as a one of , as my mother would have to be in real late stages in AZ needing full time nursing care to go there again.
So they will not fund that for her now, because my mother only has diabetic with medication not insulin
So my mother does not qualify for nurseling care home, only residential care home that can have no adaptation to assist my mother to get around when in respite.
Well social worker got my point and won’t be giving me again a residential care respite home with out adaptation as I told her yes I would like respite , but don’t rush until they a vacancy is one that I feel fit my mother needs
If you want good quality care for someone who is not in the very last stages of AZ your not going to get it , may be then and only then , they be a decent nursing care home , but till that stage and I need respite , my mother would have to put up with 2nd best .
and then they say this
in law, on the basis that it is sure that the environment - which includes the existence and the presence of the carer - is a suitable one for the client.
They don't care about the client my mother when in a care home that is not fit for her
Hippocrates the whole system is with the law and SS is all I can say and you do get what you pay for.
