Hi everyone, looking for advice please. My elderly mum had a stroke 2 months ago, she now was limited mobility, slurred speech, unable to make food/drink. The hospital have told my 82 year old father that she will be discharged home to him. However he has arthritic wrists and hips and is unable to lift her, so unable to do hygiene things or get her in or out of the car. He has been told he will get 4 visits a day but no provision for overnight and she needs the bathroom x2 per night but is unable to get herself in and out of bed into bathroom safely on her own. The impact of caring for my mum will put my dad in hospital he is already exhausted from hospital visits. Iāve applied for blue badge but Halton council have told me it takes 12 weeks and no emergency lane. Can anyone advise?
- Can he get support to take mum to other doctor and hospital appointments as he is unable to do this
- What happens overnight?
- What happens if he needs to go out?
- Can you find an emergency lane for blue badges?
- What will happen if he is ill?
Thanks so much!
