So, can anyone tell me what to do> I don't live close by, and he has come out of hospital with the supposed proviso that he gets 8 weeks of care including personal care - cleaning etc, social services....and has had nothing?

A nurse came in yesterday and said its awful and spent two hours phoning round and said - he needs to call the ward that discharged him>

He has severe mobility issues, catheter etc....cant clean has meals on wheels but needs shopping done, etc....he was in hospital for heart failure and other stuff that went wrong = he has a catheter until they put a camera in the bladder - as they damaged him in hospital and now he is at home with it!!

what can I do!! who do I call?

DF qualified for continuing health care which was previously assessed by the district nurse and resulted in 3 x per day carers visits at home. After his recent hospital stay his care needs under chc were reassessed (hospital staff) and were upgraded to a nursing home.

If he is coming to see you where would he stay? He sounds pretty unsafe on his own so a journey and hotel don't sound ideal.
