Not sure if this is this right place.
My Grandad (85yrs) is and has been in and out of hospital/convalescent home since May.
A bit of background He had a stroke 12yrs ago and is paralysed down his left side and has no strength to stand up. He also has a bag on as he has now got a prostate probelm. He live in warden accommadation by himself.
The hospital social worker want to discharge him on thursday, but the OT and Physio do not want to discharge him as he can not look after himself.
What i trying to ask is can they just discharge him with no means of looking after himself. they are saying that they can discharge him and just have someone go in 4 times aday and this is what he needs. Although he cannot make himself any food and drink or take himself to the toilet.
