Hi all, my mums condition has deteriorated and the home she is in can't meet her needs. She has been deemed suitable for an assessment for funding, this only happens last week, the local authority are paying for one to one care in the home she is in at the moment due to the above. . The social worker is putting pressure in me to find her something quickly due to them paying for one to one. I work full time so can only look at prospective homes in the evening. I have looked at five EMI nursing homes and the two I thiught suitable have no beds. I have another three to look at over the weekend
The social worker said the multi disciplinary meeting will not be held until my mum is settled in a home. How will in know how much I have to spend on her care if that's the case? I know I am allowed five hundred a week but they are mostly more expensive. I am told she may be entitled to continuing care funding.
Can they rush me into putting into somewhere I don't like?
Thanks for any support.
