Dad still in hospital with chest infection but discharge team think he will be ready to leave next week.
The next big problem is where he will go? It has been agreed he needs to do to a nursing home that also has dementia care.
One nursing home went to assess him and said he had too many medical problems for them to cope with.Another nursing home has places but has not decided if they will assess him because he is not self-funding! The discharge SS team are having a real problem finding a nursing home bed available anywhere in our area....my next question is what happens if the hospital want to discharge him but no-one has a bed for him?
He just would not be safe back at home
