Hi Everyone,
I'm needing some advice!
My mom is currently in nursing home on 1 to 1 care for V Dementia, she is on 100mgs of Morphine every 12hours and Oramoph for break through up to 4 times when need. She is also on laxatives, Buscapan too.
NHS have been paying for her care due to the nature of her Dementia. Mom has progressed in her illness and has moved for mental health to nursing care. I have been waiting for them to contact me to let me know when I need to start paying for moms care. This 1 to 1 will stop in Feb. I'm concerned that no one will see when she is in pain and administer it in the time need.
Whilst mom has been in nursing care they have said her breathing is being surpressed and they have said it is due to the morphine. Her breathing has not changed since leaving in the mental health unit. The only thing that has changed is she is more settled as it is quieter.
I have very strong feeling for wanting to bring mom home and look after her myself.
Not sure how it would work with mom being on control drugs.
Has anyone got any advice please.
Mom has an amazing GP and Social working, but wanted any of your views first.
many thanks,
