Father paralysed what help?

Errata

Could I suggest you ensure his assessment of need is done properly. If he's paralysed with significantly compromised mobility he is at high risk of skin problems and needs to bathe. A wash down with a face cloth is not sufficient to keep his skin in good health.
Talk to his GP, consultant, and local councillor.

Its even worse than I thought the council are now saying that there is a two year waiting list for any adaptations to be made to the home. My Dad will be coming home in a couple of months surely its not reasonable to expect him to go without a proper wash for so long they say a sponge bath will have to do.
My mum has already paid for a stairlift to enable my Dad to get upstairs to go to bed and just hasn't got the money for a new bathroom.
If the Doctors hadn't misdiagnosed my father for so long we wouldn't be in this mess now it makes me so angry.

Its always been the same, they will fulfil their duty by assessing your dad and deciding that a weekly visit to the knackars yard for a bath will do.
