My mum was medically fit to leave hospital. But her care had been stopped. She is 83 and dad is 87. This was the first time in 60 years they had been apart at the bells. They were missing each other terribly. It looked like mum wouldn’t be getting home any time soon.
We were all upset, but it had hit mum and dad really hard as they had it in their minds mum was coming home today. Mum has dementia, so it was particularly hard for her to understand why she couldn’t come home. She thought that we didn’t want her any more.
In stepped Elaine and Bev, between them they have managed to get mums care started today. Same times, same staff. To say we are delighted is an understatement. A big thank you at all the staff at Hairmyres and in the social work department how played their part in getting mum home.
