Just An update
Mum was sent from Hospital to a rehabilitation centre for the elderly called Buckshaw its between Chorley and Leyland.
This is a very big and new building very secure main gate is electronic you have to sign in and out etc.
Each person has there own flat with front door and letterbox
The room has a bathroom attached and the main room/bed-sit had built in microwave, fridge etc.
They have there own phone where calls are 0.09p a min
They can have breakfast in there rooms and tea but must go down to the very nice Bistro/restaurant which has its own bar for dinner.
They are encouraged to exercise and to this end they have a swimming pool for residents to use.
There is a notice on the wall encouraging residents to go on the weekly nature walks which include the local pubs(hehe)
They are allowed to stay there for upto 6 weeks but can stay longer at a price of £450 for a single to £650 for a double per week.
Mum had done a home visit a few weeks ago to see if she could cope on her own, they found a few things that needed changing in the home like all rugs needed to be removed and the kettle moved to a better position for her .
They had put a care package in place ready
All this done mum was due home on Thursday 27th October
David had gone up in the morning to turn on the heating and get some fresh food in.
But as he had to go to work had also asked one of mums friends to go round so someone was in when she landed.
At 3pm I got a call from David to phone the home to see when she would be home.
I phoned the home only to be told the move had been cancelled and she would be stopping there as there was problems with her legs swelling up again (not taking her water tablets) and there was also problems with her oxygen which she would be on at home.
So I called mums house to let the friend know she might as well go home.
Later on David phoned to find out what was said and I told him they said they had text him to tell him but he had not received any text they also had my phone number but did not get a call to let us know it had been called off
They said they will be taking some more blood for tests and mum might have to go back in hospital for a while.
We will just have to see when the results come through.
