My mom was in hospital for 9 weeks, while she was
assessed. It was decided that she should go into a
care home. As there are only 6 in Birmingham with EMI
we did look at them all
We picked the one we thought was best and they came
and assessed her last week and said she could go there
on Wednesday.
She arrived after lunch and Dad stayed with her for a while,
to see she was settled.
Last night at 11.00pm, he received a call from the home to say
she had fallen and was in pain, so she had been taken to
hospital and for Dad to ring the home this morning for news. He
rang the home but they said to ring the hospital.
Basically, Mom has fractured her hip and has had to have an
operation today to pin it. She will have to stay in hospital for
7 days and then the home will have her back.
They are not sure whether she fell out of bed or got out of bed
and then fell.
I am gutted. I am not blaming the home but I am hoping this does
not make her dementia worse.
