Mum is only 3 months into her care home residence. Dad has lived with mum's illness for nearly 10 years and in October last year the decision to put mum in a home was made for us.
(You can see various posts from me on these forums leading up to this and after the move to the home)
Well - After only 3 months the Care Home have said they cannot cope as mum's condition has continued to deteriorate and suggest we have to look for a high dependency unit.
We are self funding.
Mum is aggressive and was this week punched in the face by another resident probably in retaliation to mums behaviour. Mum has also bitten staff so they have removed her false teeth (CAN THEY DO THIS???)
ANYHOW...If we are told they cannot cope surely we are entitled to Continuing Health Care Funding - as on top off mums condition I can see how dad despairs at their savings going down the pan at £1K a week funding this.
I know it seems cold to mix money with mums best interests but we are trying to consider every aspect of moving her and potentially to a place that is no longer local to us.
thoughts???
and as always
thanks
