Hi there, I have a few questions about social services and their involvement as had a weird experience that could do with understanding a bit more about.
Without repeating other posts too much my pwd is my mum, I am only child and next of kin, have Lpa in progress (3 weeks of 4 week period to go). Mum has had such a decline for past month and triggered concerns due to out of character behaviour and poor short term memory coupled with accusatory and hostile towards me whenever she perceives anything to be out of order so am flitting between normal loving relationship with severe memory issues to me trying to steal her home, her money, get her sectioned or working with everyone to make out that she is mad when she is perfectly fine. All of this is accompanied by threats of police and social worker reporting which is obviously fine but the reality of the situation is that I have got her to the drs twice, referred to a memory clinic and also when the behaviour was particularly bad at the start (And I feared a uti or worse) I got 111 to place a concern marker as she wasnt wanting to have anything to do with me.
Anyway apologies for the long preamble but it appears that today someone has been round from social services I think, mum couldn't recall who but her neighbour who has been keeping a close eye on things said that they recognised a number mum had on a piece of paper with notes like "Will" and things like that on as social services. Mum also said to the neighbour that the lady who visited said she was fine and in great health for her age (She is very much in denial) so my lengthy background is really to see if anyone had experience of the social services visiting without notifying next of kin or even the neighbour, if so would they discuss stuff like wills and the like and also just accept mums word for it that she is fine? The Dr would definitely not back this up and they would surely need to know other information in respect of what has been occurring and the care I have put into place as well as waiting for the formal diagnosis from the memory clinic so surprised if they have just been round and obviously concerned that mum is letting potentially unscrupulous people into her home and maybe paying for things like a will to be put into place when she already has one.
