It’s abhorrent that people are waiting for any assessment in regards to health and care.

However, bashing people to do them quicker isn’t the answer. Why have we got into this position? Persistent policies on reduction of budgets to councils and NHS providers. A non existent long term workforce plan, including review of student bursaries etc. we have a falling input of new staff and an approaching black hole of staff reaching retirement. Poor investment in training, higher demands from population health all create a perfect storm. One where solutions belong to policy decision makers. All that will happen is an already overworked, overwhelmed workforce will leave. Almost like it was be design if you are that way inclined.

As a professional, I have encouraged all my family to go private which goes against everything I stand for. It’s not just social care that’s suffering it’s everything from primary care, secondary care, social care, education, welfare and prisons. Broken to the core, Tories out.

In reply to Wayne.

Hi Wayne. If you don’t have Lasting Power of Attorney for your mother it is possible for social services to make some decisions for your mum, and around her care, without your consent if they feel it is in her Best Interests.
If you are worried the carers wont be helpful at home, I would suggest seeing how the transition home goes, using them if you can, and then review it after a week or two. Ask for a review from your mother’s social worker. You can also talk to the care agency manager about their carers and what jobs you want them to help with.
Your mum will probably have more needs than you may realise on her return home. Communicate directly with the care agency and the social worker for any worries or questions you have.

You can legally employ any care agency you like, even a private one, BUT it is likely the social workers said you couldn’t have the private ones because the council will not pay the prices of the private ones. If you want a private one you will have to purchase and pay for it privately without the council helping financially.

I would also suggest you look at AGE UK website for all their information sheets around care and the law, and also at SCIE online information. Alzheimer’s Society UK website also has lots of useful information for families, it might help you to look on there too.

Hi,
Mother went in hospital for constipation, that was fine after 10 days. Shes now been in 108 days, as they state we need cares for her to come home, as she has dementia, shes gone so much worst in hospital, more frail, losing 10 pounds, nothing to do, no one to talk to, normal person would go nuts, ut her with dementia. Shes getting no exersons, and dimentai not so good at as before. And they are saying, THIS IS FOR HER GOOD AND WELL BEING ??? I am totally disgusted, as basically they are holding my mother without her free will, mine and my father free will.
They put her on DoLS, but did not tell me and my father until 4/6 weeks after, can they put on DoLS, with telling us ??? When she comes home, have social workers got anything on her, have we have to leave them in the house, which we will. And can we get rid of the carers after a week or two, as we dont want strangers walking around our house. I and my father do all the cooking, and will not let anyone else, my father showers her, and she will not let anyone else, ad we have paid cleaners. So what the the ceares for, what can they do, not sit in the living room with us there, not want that, not at all.
They the social workers are getting, or been trying to get carers for us for this long. We found private carers in just one day, but the social workers say we cant have them. IS THERE A UK LAW SAYING WE CANT have our own paid carers before theirs come please ???
As its also my father here all the time, and me 80% of the time, other than I go to work 6 hours. My mothers fineish before al this, we got on great before this and she was no problem, other than her repeating and forgetting things. We used to dress up and go out for meals and drinks with us three times a week, and will still when she comes home, as shes looking forward to that.
Thank you all for your help.
Wayne

I have experience of these waiting times.My hubby was in hospital following a fall which was found to be caused by low blood pressure.This was treated & he was declared fit for discharge after 10 days.3 months later,after waiting for care package,he had become so weak could barely walk.His whole ward were waiting for care & got no exercise or stimulation.
He was in a much worse state than before,when he could,walk,shower,cook,drive etc.Now he can,t do any of those things.When he finally did get a Care Package we were made to sign a form agreeing to pay if financial assessment showed he wouldn,t qualify.The local Council chose the Care Company who were useless & we didn’t,t even know the cost until received extortionate bill from Council,The whole system is totally broken.
