Thanks guys, I gave this some serious thought overnight. Anyway today they had put her in a different ward and the new physio people were really pushing for a care plan, to be put in place immediately as you all suggested.Anyway, they are going to arrange for a bed to be installed downstairs and for a carer to call in each morning for washing etc which will keep her ‘in the system’. We agreed it would be quicker if I arranged the installation and fitting of suitable handrails.
See, I do take note of comments in here…..
