Good afternoon everyone,
I’m seeking some advice, my mother in law has been in a care home since December 2018 after a fall at home. We had previous concerns about dementia previous to the fall however a lot was hidden from us. Originally she was discharged from the hospital to a care home in a hub bed. This then turned into a full nursing bed.
My Father in law has recently passed away so my husband is now applying for deputyship. The courts have asked for two documents best interests meeting notes and standard of authorisation from the dols team. After weeks of chasing it has come to light that she never had these documents. They said it’s because covid but she was in the home 15 months before Covid.
Has this happened before to anyone?
It makes matters worse the council are chasing for money but we can’t get the deputyship without the paper work they haven’t done.
Any advice or what to do? Do we have grounds to complain.
Thank you for taking the time to read this
