Fil has Parkinson and dementia and has been in hospital for 3 months following a fall at home. He falls constantly and mil was at her wits end looking after him before he was admitted (she is not in best of health either)
They want to discharge him shortly and he has refused to go into a care home. Mil has refused to have him home as she can no longer cope. He is deemed to have capacity at present so can he be forced into a care home if mil refuses to look after him?

Thanks all. Fil has been assessed as lacking capacity. Best interest meeting on Monday so fingers crossed he will be settled in a care home soon.
