A common pathway seems to be a hospital stay (for whatever reason) followed by basically forced discharge to a care home. I'm not so sure that a GP would drag someone out of their home.
What happens if you aren't there 24/7 to pick her up every time she falls? I wonder if she might be capable of learning, given sufficient motivation.

Thanks, all. The social work team are very keen to get her into a nursing home. The care home couldn't really manage her as she is incredibly stubborn, insistent on her 'rights', which include going downstairs with her zimmer 😳 etc. Currently her children feel too guilty to put her in against her will, but the overall feeling is changing.
JDA, in terms of learning, absolutely not. She has fallen multiple times and still insists she isn't going to use her rollator if she doesn't feel like it.

Been a while!
Hugs to all, remember to be kind to yourselves!
Aged Parent is, well, Aged Parent ... and ever more so [zero help when herself was in hospital for a fortnight ... but did keep asking when I was going to resume the supply of his hot evening meals ~ he felt that I could have split my time between hospital and home much better! 😉 ]

Hope you're on the up now, decorum. AP sounds like a bundle of laughs still!
Very minor gripe - aged parent in law rung yesterday afternoon literally 5 minutes after we walked back through the door after a few days away. (Mrs3M had spoken to himon the Friday evening.) Nothing wrong (but you daren't not answer the phone when you see who's calling, because, well, because!) Nothing wrong. He just wanted to let us know he'd walked into town and that the weather wasn't very nice. Hmm.

Hopefully dad’s house will be on the market this time next week. Fingers crossed for a quick sale. Will take a trip down in June ( if not needed before ) to get it emptied.

As ever your tolerance and commitment to keeping him at home amazes me decorum.
Hope it sells quickly LG.

Mother-in-law's funeral yesterday. The crematorium in Barrow-in-Furness is on top of a hill with far-reaching views out to sea. Yesterday the rain was horizontal, the views pretty much non-existent and there was no loitering between cars and buildings for fear of being blown away and soaked! The service went well and I think she would have been amused by the weather! Onwards and upwards ...
