My 87 year old mum has had a rough few years. After beating breast cancer we she declined and had numerous falls and ended up in a care home for over a year. I felt this wasn’t right so after a long process managed to get her home with carers visits four times daily. She has feet is and can’t walk now. I visit weekly as she is one jour train ride away.
I have always been very close with my mum. I miss her all the time and she cries when I leave. I have been thinking about moving g her closer to me which would be quite a process but very good for her as we have many family members here and she is isolated where she lives.
as she would move to anew authority I would need to ensure care is in place for her complex needs. I contacted both authorities social services and both fobbed me off which is utterly disgraceful. I read about the continuity of care which outlines how care should be provided but I feel really stuck as no one wants to help. Has anyone had any experience of this? Or who should I contact? Should I just do it and assume things will fall into place? Thanks for any input. I know some people will say life will be difficult etc but I prefer to have her close and she wants to be close too so it’s the best option.
