I definitely understand you. Shame the stroke society are less than helpful to you.
Is yours husband's memory impaired and getting worse? His not understanding that he has a disability is very concerning.

Hello and welcome to the forum Marie Have you ever been in touch with the stroke society. They were helpful to me when my late hubby had strokes. The brain damage the stroke causes can make some sufferers very self centred and at times inappropriate. You shouldn't and can't be coping on your own. Bo...

I agree. You cannot be stopped from applying for CHC. If you can find the check list and tick off what you feel should be the scoring it helps. You know more what you are up against.

Hello Nicky and ask welcome to the forum
You have a lot on your plate.
Unable to advise you at the moment, but others will be along with practical advice.

Hello and welcome My advise is do not let the hospital rush you. I know it's very hard but try to find some time to look round homes. If they are ok, you should be welcomed whatever time of day you go, without an appointment. The smell should tell you a lot. You will know the difference from stale o...

I agree BB. My heart flips when I see homeless, but have been taken for a fool more than once. Trained staff, not from DWP, should go out very late evenings, and early hours, to establish genuine homeless people. Some, near me, pack up and go ' home' after 6. I'm not uncaring, far from it. However D...

Hi Sarah
