This is my first visit so I hope this is in the correct Group.
My Mum has spent the last 6 weeks in hospital with a Neurological condition thats slowly getting worse.
She requires a feeding tube through her nose and needs this for 14 hours per day as well as oxygen and occasional Nebulisers..
Yesterday we were told that it was unsafe to her to go home as full care was not really an option with the amount and complexity she would require. They said she would need to go into a specialist Nursing home for care, or the other option being to go home and face the inevitable.
My questions are -
Could we as a family arrange to pay for the full care at home?
If she decides to go to a home, what are the options for paying, or will the National Health pay most costs?
Mum owns her own home and Im having difficulty finding out her options.
Any help greatfully recieved.
