My mother slithered out of bed and onto the floor on Monday night. My brother found her on Wednesday afternoon. She lives in a retirement property with an alarm system but refuses to wear the call button.
She is now in hospital as her kidneys are knackered.
Her mobility isn't great, she could walk short distances with a stick. I got her into bed yesterday and she can barely stand.
I'm now panicking about how she's going to cope on her own once ( or if) she improves. Will she get an assessment prior to discharge? Quite prepared to sort out careers etc but don't know where to start.
Both my brother and I live nearby and pop in once or twice a week. She has no financial worries.
