So, complaint via PALS establishes
1) that discharge from community hospital was unsafe
2) that another CHC checklist will be done (surely leading to full assessment?)
3) care agency on standby (very expensive standby)
I have read the CHC bumph but categories under areas of need on the Decision Support Tool are clearly designed for no-one to meet the criteria and are highly subjective.
At previous CHC MDteam assessment it was pronounced that Mum had no problem with cognition nor behaviour. However, she tried walking somewhere unaided (alone in house) and fell. Obviously she does have problems with cognition and behaviour as well as the unpredictable blackouts.
She's in an acute bed. Advice so far has been really helpful. Mum probably saying she wants to go home again. (There is no suitable accommodation for a live-in carer). What should I be doing/avoiding?
