Hi everyone...
Those of you who have already read my previous posts about my mom going into care etc etc will already know the situation with mom..and the care home she is currently in with the problem with the stairs etc etc..
Well today I had the SW on the phone asking for my dad or moms financial agent to sign the contract for the home and moms contribution towards the cost of her care...anyhow to cut a long story short..we got talking and she said the care mom is getting is continuous care...now I questioned this and the SW told me that because the home where mom is only a residential home..she will have to be moved when this disease progresses....so she is not classed as being in permanent care????
I am totally confused..as I thought this home was for emi care as well as residential..in fact since mom has been a resident here..the staff have told me that there are more emi residents than what they had originally made places for...so they have taken a floor what was originally planned for just residential and now made it for emi residents...
If I had known this I wouldnt have placed mom in this home..at no time did anyone tell us that this home was just a residential home..
So really what I am asking is..the info the SW has given me..is it correct? And where will mom end up...as if we hadnt enough to worry about..the SW springs this on me this morning...
Maybe this is why the stairs are not fastened off...I dont know..
I thought this would be moms home until the inevitable came...it looks as thought I was totally wrong...and now I am so confused I dont know what to do anymore...we're just being bounced from one thing to another lately...
Has anyone else had this happen to them or know whats happening more than I do????
Thanks..
Caroline
