joffandanmum   11 #37 Posted February 22, 2015 Thank you very much for your advice it is all valued. A nurse is taking my mum ( the 103 year old's daughter) to visit a couple of homes tomorrow. Then the big meeting on Tuesday. To be honest my grandma has been in hospital a few weeks now and for the very first time seems to have lost the will to go on. Before she went into hospital yes, she went to the hairdressers and luncheon club, she enjoyed her social life.It seems, sadly that she has given up.

If their only 'nursing' need is the administration of insulin this can be done by the community nurse visiting the residential home.  ---------- Post added 23-02-2015 at 16:44 ----------  Thank you very much for your advice it is all valued.

Don't be bullied into this - there are many care homes out there. Is this a temporary placement ? Make sure you have all the fact before agreeing to anything.  http://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-124145088 Edited February 24, 2015 by Daven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
