As a family we seem to be in a catch 22 situation in respect of obtaining the right care for 88 year old mum.
Hospital are keen to discharge her as there's nothing more they can do for her (she's now bed-bound, catheterised + using incontinence pads and on a syringe driver for pain relief). Care at home isn't feasible, we're told that she requires a nursing home place. The local nursing homes which state on their websites that they provide palliative care, are saying that they can't meet her needs.
She has terminal bowel cancer, is barely eating, just about staying hydrated, but pain is being controlled by morphine pump and she's reasonably compos mentis.
What do we do ?
