My mum has been in a EMI care home since 7 December, she has got worse since being admitted to home but during the last month things have really got bad, she has had four falls (approx one a week), three of which she has been sent to hospital, this last fall she has been in hospital the whole week, hospital want to release her but care home saying they she will need a zimmer frame and extra care (she was walking with no problems before hospital stay) and will probably need to move to EMI nursing. How can all this happen so quickly, I know she has been ill for years her memory had gone and she could not look after herself but she was able to walk round and wash and dress herself with help before going into care, then she started getting aggressive which seemed to be the norm with others on this site, but I just feel sick at heart that in the space of just over 4 months she is practicly bedridden and seems to also be incontinent (according to the hospital) other people at the home seem to have been there for years and haven't got this ill so quickly I can't understand why.
