My mam is due out of hospital early next week. This morning I had a meeting with her care manager, 2 representatives of the carers to be used, the OT from the hospital and one of the nurses and my mam to discuss what the carers will be doing and what I will be doing once she's at home. As my mam has trouble standing up she will be transferred for her bed to her commode and to her wheelchair using a stand hoist. The carers will be washing her down but no-one was able to tell me how I should wash her hair, except for one suggestion which was to take her to the hairdressers once a week!!!!!! Exactly how much money does she think my mam has for goodness sake. When she was able to stand by holding onto something I was able to get her out of her wheelchair and wash her hair in the sink. But as she needs 2 people and a hoist I don't know how I'm going to wash her hair. So if anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.
