Gosh! Am dismayed to hear about the reluctance of homes to accept people accepted for NHS chc. I haven't yet managed to get an assessment for CHC, many professionals have stated that my dad qualifies, but then someone further down the line says his condition is not critical enough. True enough, he is still breathing. I have him back at home and have to care for him 24/7, doing everything but he is better here, much better. Having said that, he was like a breathing corpse in hospital. No day care will take him, we've tried every avenue, All I want is day respite for myself once in a while and a week's respite every couple of months. I can get the block respite by paying privately but am having to work on getting RNC contributions refunded. My dad is in an advanced stge of Parkinson's.
