Hello Mumsnetters. My Dad has had a storke, he's all with it mentally, still completely himself but has significant physical impairment, he's bed/chair bound, and has carers 4x a day. At the moment he is still in the 6 weeks provided by the hospital following discharge, and is being assessed this week by the council to look at his ongoing needs.
It's very hopeful with a lot of work he will be able to get himself in and out of bed and to toilets etc, there is hope for the future.
However, right now my Mum is really not coping at all, she finds the whole thing completely distressing and exhausting, she can't cope with my Dad not coping, he's the rock she's the one that is looked after usually, they don't work this way round. She's almost making things worse.
I think Dad should move in with me and my husband, husband is absolutely fine with this. However they are in England and we are in Wales. We can't provide all the care he needs so he would still need his care package.
Anyone have any experience of how that would work, how would his care needs be transferred from England to Wales? He would only be with us temporarily until he can move about and get to bathrooms on his own again, I'd say up to 6 months max, so his address will still be England.
Thanks for any advice!
