My gran is nearly 99.
She is currently in rehabilitation unit for a broken hip.
When she was in hospital she got a covid test (3 weeks ago ) it was negative.
I've been told she needs to go into a care home.
I've found a lovely care home but they've said they need another covid test (totally understand ) as in those 3 weeks she's came into contact with many different care workers in rehab.
Social services have refused her another test.
They have said the rehab unit doesn't have any and it's not necessary.
The care home have zero cases and won't take gran without one.
Social services have told me to pick another care home that won't need my gran to have another test.
I don't want to send my gran to a home that is letting anyone in without testing.
What can I do here ?
Can social services put her anywhere ?
It's one thing after the other
I'm fed up
