Mum was in care home for only 3 months . In hospital twice and still there but to be discharged to nursing home.
Has covid but mild symptoms ( very interesting thread about symptoms in elderly) . Care home refusing to take her back ,saying to staff she’s too frail now and has covid but to us saying something different...
Apparently 10 nh have refused her because of covid positive....while I appreciate they don’t want covid I suspect her ch had it and surely staff should be caring as if residents have covid?
So now going to nh that I haven’t seen, is miles away from family ( once we can see her again) and told by social worker when I raised my concerns and distress that I should basically pull myself together and pull my britches up as this is difficult times!
Have we any say in this? It feels like my mum is being let down by those deciding all of this without taking into account the significant distress that mum will experience with yet another strange place to get used to as well as our own feelings of distress and helplessness as we see our mum being passed from place to place.
