Hi MIL lives with us since NoV 2014. our frontroom as her bedroom, she has been assessed as L.A funded and we had a carers assessment back in Oct which recommended respite.... thought SIL would not be able to have her but then did in Dec. MIL is 91 macualar degenration, mild to moderate mixed dementia on donezpil, hearing loss, walkng stick etc, she is on her L.A (42year plus residency) list for extra care ...top of the list but in the interim things are becoming unmanageable here as she is a danger to be left alone, teenagers..GCSE year etc etc...we both work. ulcers etc etc .mMiL has lower AA for Years..she is reasonably continent.
We are concerned that when extra care becomes available she will be deemed unsuitable...is that likely in any one opinion?
It has been suggested to us that in respte a more in depth analysis could be done regarding MIL suitability and abilities rather than the 10 minutes spent with the SW thus far believing MIL in all her hostessing glory.
Funding of respite how does it work? As it would be better for her to be in her old L. Athough her assement and respite funding would be from our L.A where she is presently resident.(here with us)
Can our L.A contract with the other L.A or out of borough care home for respite directly?
We don't want a direct payment which our L.A seemed very keen on last Oct.
Do we find and agree home and then inform our L:A?
I know to research the cqc reports etc... yet to visit any.
In people's experience for non emergency respite..how long does it take to organise/set a date.
If L.A funded respite is their a qualifying duration before you are eligible?
If after carehome stay the hom view was extra care was unsuitable who would decide? Our L.A who is keen on extra care as it is deemed housing so is cheap for them??
Thanks
