My mother's carer has just been rung up by our bossy district nurse and told that we have to use a hoist and that we have to have 2 people using it. When the carer quibbled, she said she would call in social services! Can anyone tell me whether a)we have to use a hoist if she tells us to - the carer is worried that it will upset mummy, also b) whether if she calls in social services they can make us do anything. I thought if you were in your own home it is up to you how you cope - so long as no one is in danger?
Advice please! The district nurse has announced that she is coming to see me on Friday to 'talk' to me!
