Hello im not sure this is the correct forum so apologies if it is not
My mum is in a hospital urology ward with end stage kidney cancer. I would like to get her discharged home and she wants to go home (Not to a hospice) . She lives in house rented from a social housing association provider . Since she went into hospital they decided to renovate the whole kitchen and 1st bedroom . They were initially asked to restart the boiler that wasnt working but they have decided that a whole new kitchen needs to be fitted ie new cupboards, walls , floor ,, boiler etc
The problem is that this is likely to take 2/3 months as they need to get quotes etc but the hospital are saying that she is not able to be discharged home as major renovations are needed in the property. This is despite the fact that she would essentially be living in the 2nd bedroom and she wouldnt need to be cooking . The medical and nrsng care she is getting can be given at home
This just feels like the housing assocation are taking advantage of the fact she is dying to make the property in a state for another tennant. Is there anyway i can get around this. The urology ward staff are fine they dont seem equipped for long term or palliative care and im just amazed its the landlords comments that are preventing them putting a package in for her to be cared at home . Is self discharge possible ? She is finding it hard to walk and i would appreciate the hospitals input into home care for her so i worry they wont provide this if she self discharges . No one from the hospital wants to even come to view the property . Is there anywhere i can get advice on this issue ?
thanks
