Hi Mums been in hospital two weeks she’s 92. She was admitted due to feeling unwell, confused and high bp. All her tests have come back clear. I’ve spoken to three Drs and told them all mum is unsafe at home. The social worker has spoken to mum today and told her I’m fed up with caring for her 😡 I’m furious.
I’ve never said that, haven’t even spoken to her yet, she’s ringing me tomorrow.
I would like mum to have 24hr care. But that for us does mean a care home. Mum is totally against it. Does anyone know what might be said or asked tomorrow. I can’t think straight at the moment and don’t want to waste tomorrows call.

Hi just an update. I had a meeting with the SW and someone from the local authority carers team, plus a nurse and physio yesterday. It has been decided that mum needs a care home, we discussed assisted living which sounded great, but unfortunately now mums 92 we felt it would not be enough for her.
Now the hard work begins researching care homes and mountains of paperwork! Thanks for all your help.
