They put her in a nursing home and I am devastated. The hospital agreed mum should return home, and put a care plan in action, but my 2 sisters and brother went mad and contacted social services,they have now taken mum to a nursing home against her wishes....we are devestated and have tried to get her home ,,its breaking our hearts to see mum go through this, they havent bothered with mum for over 10 yrs..they are just being spitfull,they have also said its revenge for long ago family dissagrements...i am mums next of kin,and my daughter is mums primary carer,we have contacted every legal profesion we can think of ,but still no joy,.my sisters and brother only visited mum 5 times whilst she was in hospital, me and my daughter were there every day from 11am till 7pm for 29 days...since she was put in the nursing home they have not even been to see her, they dont really care about mum,why cant social services see that, it has recked mums life and ours, we are now very depressed and feel ill because of it all, please help, tell us what we can do to get our poor mum home,....mums condition has got worse, she cant even remember her address now:::!!!!!
But do you know if anyone has a Medical Power of Attorney for your mother? Have you spoken directly with the Social Services worker as well as the hospital discharging physician to determine exactly WHY your mother's care was redirected? Were allegations made about conditions at the residence (yours?) where your mother would go?
Focus on the issues and fact and set aside the dysfunctional family dynamics to find out why SS agreed to take jurisdiction. If you have to, find an elder care attorney to represent your interests and find out exactly why your mother was placed in a nursing home.
Here, it's not unusual to go to a rehab facility post-stroke for assistance in recovering mobility and strength.
