Social Services want to move my frail Ma (92)

Well, we challanged that today and after nearly two hours, we emerged with a change of that decision! The assessment team were now going to recommend that dad be granted full nursing care funding.

Had they not, I would have asked them to review their decision.
I suggest you do the same if you're not happy with the outcome. Social Services I feel make many decisions bases on budgets not people and just now and then they need reminding they in the business of 'caring'.

The Social Worker agreed with me that a move would hasten our Ma's death, & if thqt happened, my sister & I are articulate and obviously would not let the matter rest. It would make quite a story in the local press.

The way forward is very clear isn't it: speak up, don't be browbeaten, stand up for your rights and those of your oldie.

Well done to all for beating the system.
