Today have had IL's to dinner, they live in a sort of half way care home, a bit more than warden control in that they have nursing staff (I say this whilst laughingly calling it that!) Anyway family chose to accommodate them there because if anything happens in an emergency either one or the other gets immediate care. In the past couple of weeks my FIl has been admitted to hospital, not his fault I know, according to Social services MIL should get care but this is not the case the staff where they are say they will check in at 9pm then again in the morning at 8am. MIL has Alzheimers and her care plan states that if anything happens they must stay with her for 48hrs and then if necessary and FIL stays in hosp they move her to respite.
So tonight at 10pm we get a call to say FIL gone to hospital in ambulance can someone come over to look after MIL as they don't have the staff with it being Mother's day. SIL has gone to hosp and will probably be there all night and Hubby has gone to stay with his mum. This means he will not go to work tomorrow as she walks all night and does not settle hence requiring 24hr care. What is really annoying me is that today I have had a bottle and a half of wine and am now in sole care of my young son, we have a deal that means that one of always stays sober to look after little man just in case as we live out in the sticks.
Sorry to vent but really just annoyed with useless systems that don't work!
