We have a meeting at NH next week for MIL. Has anyone ever managed to achieve the unattainable? And how?

I used to work helping with the prep and attend meetings for this. I only knew of a few people who got it. The key was ‘unpredictably’ it seemed. Someone with standard nursing care doesn’t get it but when someone’s needs change a lot and it requires specialist care to monitor and support them, they might get it. I think I had one patient with Lewy Body Dementia who got it because his behaviour was unpredictable and he needed specialist mental health nurses to care for him.

I have only known palliative patients get it ( I used to work in a hospice ). Otherwise I think you need to show specialist Nursing care is needed rather than just care that can be given by carers.
