Elder Care Home Concerns

Hi ****! I'm sorry to hear about your mum's situation. To better assist you, could you let me know if you have any legal documentation in place, such as a power of attorney or guardianship, that allows you to make decisions on her behalf?

Hi ****! While you're waiting for the deputyship to be processed, you might consider contacting the local council's Adult Social Care team to express your concerns about your mum's care. They can perform an assessment and address any immediate issues.
Would you like more information on how to contact them or any further steps you can take?
