My Mum's been diagnosed with late onset dementia. She is 84 and until last May was living at home on her own. Then she fell, had a hospitalisation and operation as she broke her hip and went into a care home that she privately funds.
A few weeks ago she fell again for the third time in the carehome and fractured her lower lumbar region and received a bilateral fracture to her sacrum.
This was around 25th Jan this year.
Since then she's bbmeen laid flat out in bed apart from physio at the hospital managing to get her to sit on the edge of the bed with her legs over the side once.
A physio team from the hospital have visited Mum three times, the first twice when she was clearly suffering from a uti infection and was very shouty and screaming when they tried to move her.
They went in for another visit last Friday, I'd not been forewarned or else I may have attended and tried to get her to engage but she was shouting at them and really resistant.
Sadly the home hadn't put her hearing aids in that day so she wouldn't have been able to hear them and I think she was confused and frightened at these strange people in her bedroom
Apparently thst was her last chance with the physio, they've said they won't return.
Prior to her last fall she attending activities in a wheelchair with carers pushing her there and sitting in the residents lounge and she had a good quality of life.
What can I do?
