I',m back from my restful holiday with my immediate family. Dad is still in hospital and we've found out that there's such an "animal" (not meant derogatory) as a Discharge coordinator (DC)
Mum hasn't heard about the Panel - four weeks ago, although it's pretty safe that the LA will fund most of Dads care once we get him settled elsewhere.
Ther are waiting lists all over the Authority, and the nearest we like has a waiting list of 3 in front.
Although Dad is "happy" where he is, we are being pushed into getting him out and inot temporary accomodation until a place come available...."it could be two months" the coordinator said. We are not happywith any of the local homes other than the three we identified - longest list, medium list and 3 in front.......
the DC has offered to chase the homes for us on our behalf, which is useful as we all work full time, and Mum is not quite strong enough to deal with authority figures.
Our Social Worker was asked on oour laast visit, as to if there was any confirmation from the LA, and can Mum have her original documents back please.
she looked at us as if we were aliens, and then brought an envelope with the docs in - along with an Estimate of the fees / breakdown from their finance - not the panel decision.
Does anyone know if Mum should recieve a panel decision letter?@ - it would seem appropriate to send one to put her mind at rest.....it seems we have to chase up everything "Social Services".....
Roll on the place becoming available.......
