MIL is currently in hospital. She’s in a bit of a state, but basically sound. We expect her to be in for about a week.
My question is, what happens when she is ready to be discharged? Every medical professional she has seen in the last two days has offered her an assessment for a care package, which she has flatly refused every time. Can I assume that their professional judgement is that she needs one? I certainly think she does.
As well as the condition they admitted her for, which is physical, she really needs a memory assessment, physio and support to get her mobile again and a suspicious area on her face which may be a basal cell carcinoma looking at.
In your experience, are the hospital likely to pick up on these things, or will we have to drive this?
Also, when she is ready to be discharged, will the hospital contact the NOK (DH), or will we have to ask for a meeting with them?
Thanks.
