Mum went into a residential care home in October, first for respite then permanently. They knew she had Alzheimer's. In November Dad died, grief caused mum to stop speaking, eating and she lost her mobility. She was prescribed an antidepressant and is now very slightly better. Last week the manager told me that they could no longer meet her needs because of her lack of cooperation and the need to hoist her. She has been reassessed but doesn't need nursing care. I have been to see a few homes today and they are also not able to take people with mobility problems although I was told as their residents deteriorate they don't ask them to leave. Mum is 92. I am struggling, I feel out of control of the situation, not sleeping, worrying. Social services say they will help me find a place which is something.
I feel mum is having a very shabby deal, what do you think?
