it seems unlikely (according to the sister in hospital) that Mum will get CHC. That form is crazy and in some cases, the categories are so similar. I had suggested Mum might be A or B in some areas but the sister marked them down.
It seems that you have to be unstable and unpredictable to be awarded CHC. So if you are refusing medication, not talking at all, shouting and falling down you will get CHC. The sister told me that she has seen people literally dying and they don't get CHC.
She also said it doesn't Matter how bad a person WAS or might be in the future but how they present on the day they are being assessed.
I had to smile because my (Alzheimers) mother even said "how bad do I have to be to get A's then?"
They have obviously designed that form so that as few people as possible get CHC.
