Hi everybody
Not posted for a while, Dad is still in assessment hospital (went in October), he has had problems with bladder and TIA's. He was recommended for continuing health care at his review in November, I was advised in January that he had not been accepted. Needless to say I am appealing, Social Worker has not been in touch for over 4 weeks and promises of the discharge co ordinator where Dad is heave not happened, he has allegedly been told on 4 occassions that I wish to speak to him! At his review the Social worker advised that I could appeal, which I have done. Some of you may well recall that I have lived in the house all my life. It is my home, although it is in Dads name, we had the title deeds ready to sign at solicitors, then Dad had to be rushed to hospital and has not been home since!!
I am now being hassled to find a place for Dad, after a mneeting with the ward manager yesterday she questioned why I was having to wait for the coordinator, I advised her about funding I don't know if Dad is partial or fully funded, what type of care whether it be nursing or otherwise. Ok I should have followed this up before, as you can imagine the prospect of losing my home is something I would rather delay!
The ward manager to be fair has apologised that I had not been advised more on Dads situation and that Dads case would be put up for RAP panel!! Can anyone tell me what this committee is for ?
Sorry to rattle on, I could write loads more however I am at work and really pushing my luck!!!
best wishes to you all
Sue
