My husband has secondary progressive MS. He is fully wheelchair bound, and apart from the basics such as feeding himself (which he struggles with now) and drinking etc. He is fully dependent. He is not talkative, and his cognition is very poor.He is currently in hospital following another uti. Due to my poor health, physical and emotionally and the fact my sons dad died suddenly last year. I have asked if he can go into a care home as I can no longer cope. I don't want carers coming in due to past poor experience, and it makes me feel even more anxious, also the privacy aspect. My husband is okay about this, and he would have activities and have 24 hour care. The social worker though is not listening and say he has no night time needs, so doesn't fit the criteria ( he wakes up in the night disoriented most nights or is incontinent, so I have to clean him up)
social worker has said carers are coming in as of next week, I've said I don't want this, but not being listened to. Really don't know what to do. All I know is our lives are in limbo and can't think straight. Any advice please.
