You need to get her GP involved to say it’s detrimental to her health.

Good point,thank you.

This is shocking. The cheapest homes are not always the best.

I totally agree,the home she is in is wonderful I dread to think how she might react if told she had to move.

They are sadly, often the worst. 😢

My mother was placed via Social Services and identified by them as their best value home. She had to move as her sheltered living was closing. She’s nearly 97 poor sight,hearing,mobility etc
Following review they are saying they now have to do another best value search ie if a cheaper home comes up my mother may well have to move again. No one at any time told us of this process and I guess I didn’t question given I was familiar with a different process. ie placement pending permanency following review. I’m appalled such practice goes on. I put in a complaint and the letter from the area manger was in imo pretty uncaring and vague so I will went back to them copy to the director,local MP and the care home. Waiting for a response.
Going by their analogy she could be moving every 3-4 months.
This is Dorset Council has anyone experience of other local authorities doing similar?it’s appalling practice and all about money.
