Well I do want the best care for my Dad if that means losing the house and inheritance to care costs then so be it, as it is am very tired after one week of looking after him, but some of that is adjusting to his condition. If it was not for organisations like this, Alzheimer's UK and Unforgettable ...

Yes residential care is very much in the picture, complicated by the fact I live in my Dad's house, but I only want the best for him for his health and safety. I am seeing a IFA for a consultation next week to discuss paying for care and asset management. Dad would have to self fund. The only other ...

An update: things have been a bit tough with having Dad back home. Had to call an ambulance on the first morning as he slipped of the bed and didn't want me to help him up.

Doctor prescribed patch ...

Yes I did mention NHS continuing healthcare and will bring it up again at the proper meeting with the social services.

Got a call from his physiotherapist to come in for a meeting today,and basically goal posts changed again. Now they are saying alth...

He hasn't got dementia. The post hospital NHS rehabilitation is for up to four weeks. Prior to this year July he had never been admitted to hospital before, the second hospital admission was due to negligence from the hospital on the first admission. Right now the rehab care home is the best place f...
