My grandma has been in a nursing home 1wk we want to move her for various reasons. She is self funded and is classed as temp for the first 12wks we have rang the home the manager was very stroppy and said we have to give 28 days notice then hung up on the phone, my grandma are us have not signed a contract as we was only given it to us yesterday so is it right that it is 28 days notice.

If you haven't signed a contract, I can't see how they could hold you to anything.

Mercedes,

What are the circumstances of your grandmother moving into the home? Was she moved in there from a hospital?

Yes she was in hospital before se went to tha care home, its all sorted now we have moved her to another home she was on a 14 day trial no contract had been signed and with her being self funded it was up to us.

Well done for sorting it out so quickly, and for not being intimidated by the manager at the first place. Hope your Gran will be much happier in the new home.

Did the hospital carry out an assessment to see if she was eligible for fully funded NHS continuing care, or did they just tell you she would be a self funder like they normally do?

Thanks for your reply,s grandma seemed settled yesterday everyone seems lovely at the new home we actually took grandma there for a full day a couple of days ago to see what she thought and what a big difference.Yes grandma was assesed in hospital she is just residential not nursing, we just told them that she was self funding as we knew she had over the £23,000. The only thing that i think is wrong is that she has to still keep paying £79 a wk rent for 12wks because if she doesn,t like it she would be classed as homeless during this time its stupid really as we know and they know that she couldnt go back home.We feel happier now shes moved im glad we did it.

Mercedes,

It would be worth checking to see they did the proper assessments. Social services and the NHS are very good at telling lies to people and saying they have to fund themselves when the reality is they have primary health needs and should be funded by the NHS in full. If you need to know more just reply here. There is also the following thread which you might find informative:-

I recieved my grandmas social care assesment papers yesterday and it says continuing health care assesment was carried out and she scored 1B and 10c,s so therefoe is not eligable for CHC im not sure what they do have to score though.
