I need urgent help. How long have I got to act? What should I do?
I've been caring for Mum nearby for 17 years.
She has rare neurological degenerative condition and the other day she had a heart attack. I was with her at the time, called 999 etc.
She was admitted to HDU and stayed on acute ward for 2 weeks. Consultant told me and brother that Mum has untreatable, pathological heart condition which may be hereditary. I told them which nursing home she wants to be in (near home, she has funds) the sister told me that the home "wouldn't be able to meet Mum's needs" and that Mum would be going to elderly care for "rehabilitation".
Her condition has rapidly deteriorated at the Community Hospital and although I believe the staff mean well they are not meeting her needs.
She can't stand, has a catheter, finds swallowing difficult, can hardly talk, agrees with everything/everyone (not like her at all!) but still able to read- although I'm not certain how much she is really taking in.
Help,please help. I want her needs to be met in the way she has always said she wanted.
