Hi all,
First time poster but been lurking a bit!
Long story short, mums had Alzheimers for 3 plus years and is/was still at home. I,ve been full time carer for her for 3 months and her grandson lives with her.
We have got by but mum recently had a UTI for 2 weeks( wrong biotics for the first week) and its hit her badly. Her walking has gone but she can load bare which is a plus.Virtual Ward got involved and said she needed assessment for maybe hoist etc but no mention of physio?
She is getting assessed in a local care home at £120 per week for approx 4 weeks and we have to pay. Is this right?
She is still lucid but they are hoisting her everywhere, have spoke to her GP and she was furious they took her away from her home when she just needed more help for us and a hoist at home and some physio to try get her mobile.
Dr is on the case and is getting physio sorted, it may or may not work but you have to try at least.
Rant over and welcome any advice.
Thanks Paul
