Thank you – I really do mean this from the bottom of my heart. You understand and in a way that social workers do not seem to. Two social workers have told me they’ve not come across such a complex case to which the GP said they are lucky because she see’s dementia/alcohol disorder often.
We have had another very bad weekend, in and out and back again to hospital, it is ridiculous and yes your right my Aunt does present as suicidal. Our biggest fear was that in time they would just see her as someone who drinks too much and not someone with Dementia. I always felt the no capacity assessment would be weighty but nope. They’ve said that they are applying to the court of protection this week but we’ve heard it all before.
Onwards we go.
Thank you again for such kindness and good advice.
