Hello everyone. My mother had been in hospital a month- there were no beds in our area a dos she was admitted to a hospital in the next county. She has vascular dementia following brain haemorrhage 3 yrs ago - she is just 76. She is unsafe to come home - they want us to look at EMI nursing homes as she needs further assessment out of a hospital environment. The homes we have looked at are horrific given my mother's age and stage of dementia they are wholly unsuitable. The hospital want her out as she is not medically Ill and she is bed blocking. If there are no suitable nursing homes ( and in any event all but one are full ), and the hospital want her out - what can we do? Has anyone been in this situation. It's hoped that after a few more weeks on memantine she may be suitable for an EMI residential home but she needs these psychiatrist assessments first.
I'm at my witts end, il be 6 foot under soon, I'm not in good health.
