Hi
I'm very new so Pleeease be gentle!
My mum had a severe stroke 5mths ago and is now waiting to be discharged from hospital. She has a high level of care needs and we are hoping she will get full funding for a nursing home based on her level of need.
I've looked at the topic on here but tbh it made me feel completely overwhelmed! So if anyone can help I would appreciate it so much
Firstly do we need to insist the health needs assessment is done and appealed if necessary before she is discharged? Or are we OK to have it done when she comes out?
Who pays in the meantime if there's a gap?
Any top tips for ensuring its awarded if a case is 'borderline'??
Many thanks in advance
It all feels v stressful!
