My mum was discharged from hospital into NHS paid for rehab in a care home (all are either rehab or respite beds).
She'd had a fall, possibly caused by heart issues (AF) and pneumonia.
Apparently they are assessing her, but I don't understand what for. She lives in extra care (assisted living) and no one has spoken to them. When I've seen her walk (she is still meant to be using a frame) it is as good as it's been in the last 4 years. She furniture walks a bit at home, which they don't like.
I am worried she will now take time to get back to routine of making her own breakfast, and evening sandwich etc with being out of flat for so long (I may be just worrying over nothing).
I was told when I phoned today that there is an issue with her meds taking now - but didn't seem much different from what I'd told them, and she has a clock in her flat to know what day it is, without this she wouldn't have a clue. I've taken clock up after work tonight. I did state when I spoke to an OT last Wed that I thought she might need supervised meds from carers.
I am struggling to talk to the right person, and she has been there 10 days now. Will I be involved in discharge process, or not? Just feel very confused.
