Should I have my husband at home or in a care home ?

Not sure but perhaps it’s another area of the hospital where he already is. It’s good news that he will have a longer discharge assessment which will help decide what care he needs.

It will be somewhere where they can assess his needs before he is transferred to a nursing or care home. It seems they may have realised or accepted his condition has changed since he was at home/prior to admission. I know it is overwhelming and frustrating but it is a good thing he is being assessed. It simply isn;t true there is no 6 weeks free care anymore, you only have to google to find the information. I hope you are okay

My aunt was in one of these. Her family wanted her to go into a home because they were worried about my uncle caring for her as she is has kidney failure and the dialysis was making her act very strangely. He wanted her home and my aunt wanted to go home so they did home visits, set up care, etc.

You could also Google where the unit is for your hospital so you'll know how far you need to travel. As far as I am aware, you should be involved in the procedure.

My husband will have to go into a care home if his medical problems get much worse, even though he has no wish to do so. The only time I have had a break since 2013 is on the rare occasions he has been hospitalised.

We had a discussion a couple of years before he had these health problems, which began in 2006, about what would happen if either became disabled. My husband said that there was no way he would be able to look after me if I became disabled, and I would have to go into a care home. Therefore I reckon I have done my bit.
