Mum has Alzheimer's and since falling and breaking her wrist 4 months ago has refused to use the stairs at home so she has been living upstairs. Dad lives with her and is her full time carer, with help from a care agency who come in 4 times a day.
Dad's decided - rightly I think - that they would be better living downstairs where there's a bathroom and a room they could put beds in. Social services might be able to organise mum being carried down the stairs, but it's not a certainty and could take weeks if not months to arrange. Does anybody know whether there's any other way to get mum downstairs, please?
We've already tried St John's Ambulance, Red Cross and the GP surgery. It's logistically complicated because it needs to happen on the same day that her hospital bed is moved downstairs by the company that delivered it, so moving mum needs to be something we can arrange for a specific day. If anybody has experience of this I'd be very grateful to hear from you, thanks!
