My Mum has been in hospital for six weeks

She went in because she’d had a stroke, had another small one while she was in there, was then diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. The doctor told her she was getting worse (but has told me she is stable). They won’t let her come home with carers unless she walks (with a frame - which she was doing until she was told she was getting worse), and she just says she will walk when she goes home.

I am overseas, and have been back twice to see her since she has been in hospital. I’m going to go back again next week. I would like her to go home with nursing care if possible but have no idea how I would arrange this, or maybe into a hospice. She tells me every day how much she hates it in hospital but all the hospital say is that she is not well enough to go home yet. I don’t know who I can talk to. They told me last week that she was having a scan of her heart, and that someone would call to update me. But no-one ever does, and I just get told that she is stable and she could have weeks left or months and months. It’s the same whether I phone or am there in person. And I don’t know what to do.
