My lovely 90 year old Dd had a stroke 10 days ago and is in hospital. He is very frail with almost everything failing( heart, lungs kidneys etc) and is now too weak to get out of bed or eat.. he has been on the end of life pathway, on morphine for the last week. I don’t think he was expected to hold on this long. The hospital need his bed,- so what next?
Where do I look for a possible suitable comfortable caring place for him - to make what are likely to be his last days comfortable? Is it possible to get this sort of care - and the equipment needed at his home? DM needs to be near him.
I don’t know where to start. Care homes will not be suitable as he needs nursing care. also complicated by siblings and I living several hours drive away- all in different directions. Any pointers would be helpful.
