Always expecting that call.... | Dementia Support Forum

Thank you @HartleyHugs Mum fell and broke her hip on the very first day she became a resident in a care home. Prior to that, she was still mobile and not previously had a fall. She was placed into a care home because my dad could no longer cope with her challenging behaviour.

When she broke her hip, she spent 5 weeks in hospital and during that time she declined significantly. She was unable to comply with physio and OT so she has been bedridden ever since. She was discharged from hospital to a nursing home. A few months ago, the home de-registered from its nursing home status and now it is completely closing. Sadly, my experience of both care homes has been very poor.
