Hi all I posted a few months back. My mother died in August in a home. She’d been there for 5 years following a brain haemorrhage which then developed into advanced dementia. In February 20 she was discharged from hospital back to the residential home. I tried to have her moved to a nursing home, sh...

Bowlingbun you are right, I’m trying to do too much and I’m just exhausted by grief and all these decisions , thank you for that good advice I’m not doing anything until next week, unless I have to .
Thanks again

Thank you for your replies. Yes it is just a case of paying the debt off but it’s complicated by the fact the Welsh government allow the estate to retain £50k. The property is probably only worth about £75 K and the debt is £35 K plus there are 5 beneficiaries ( I’m one of them ) but I’m the only on...

Has anyone paid off the care home debt from their own capital to enable them to keep the deceased parents house? My mum has passed away and there is a charge on her property to the council. The beneficiaries would like to keep the house rather than selling it and would pay the debt off from their ow...

I would DEFINITELY complain, to save anyone else suffering. Complain to the CCCG about the doctor, and CQC for the failure to ensure the required medication was available when needed, in their box! When my mum was in pain, as I had POA, I told the doctor that relief of pain must be her top priority...

I had had a meeting with consultant who said she could go back to residential home she didn’t have nursing needs and CHC didn’t apply. She went back to the home with a palliative care plan in place. It wa...

Problem is Bowlingbun there is a three year time limit which is up next week. I did take legal advice but it would mean I’d have to sue the doctor who is currently treating me. It’s very difficult as he is actually lovely, and I’m-not sure was even negligent but oh i don’t know what to do anymore. H...

Hi all, I’ve been a member on here for years since my mum had brain haemorrhage. She now has end stage vascular dementia and even though she is in a care home, I oversee everything. I really hope it’s ok to post this. Ironically I now receive care from my husband - here’s my story. I’m 60 this year ...
