Hello All
At long last I have been able to arrange an assessment for Mum who is in a secure EMI care home, in the later stages of AD.
This came about after losing patience with my brother doing nothing about getting it, ........the one thing he has been asked to do!!........ and my sister being told on the phone that Mum would not get it if we applied.
I fired off an e-mail to the local health authority and got a response the next day asking for an appointment to be made for an assessmant.
My sister spoke to a lady who is seeing Mum this Thursday, she is sympathetic to the fact that all AD patients should receive funding, but made it clear that the committee who will make the decision may well say no.
Inspired by this forum, I will, when the funding is refused, appeal and do the best I can for her.
Wish me luck!
Kathleen
