We can't cope with Dad at home. His symptoms of paranoia are currently under control but his other symptoms are not.
Mum is living at home and my sister lives nearby but works full-time and has kids to take care of. The youngest developed major mental health issues after Dad was admitted so my sister is worried about a repeat and will have to restrict her involvement with Dad. I live in a different country.
Realistically, Mum can't cope with Dad at home but she knows he wants to come home and because she has a people pleaser personality she is struggling to say 'no' but knows it will be impossible.
My sister tries to attend all team meetings but can't always get time off work. We are going to try to arrange for me to join meetings by conference call.
What criteria is used to determine if a "deprivation of liberty" order should stay in place? Any tips on fighting to keep dad in the nursing home?
Do any of our UK posters know, is this a "standard operating procedure" review that happens with EVERY admission?
Venus, do you have reason to believe that the admins at the NH feel that dad should be released? Have they discussed that possibility with mom?
I guess what I'm getting at here is that this may simply be part of the process in your part of the world. To you all, because it's your first rodeo, it sounds like a big deal, whereas the NH may just be keeping you informed of the steps they have to take.
