Rog, I work for Health and Social Care in Liverpool, there is a telephone number for - Liverpool Direct - on the Liverpool council site - they would point the caller in the right direction to get the info on the Lifeline service.
Try getting your council up and go to Social Services, there maybe a number there for you to contact and make enquiries.........Good Luck

She surfaces after a busy weekend which finished off with me and OH going out for a lovely meal today too. Had a snooze and feel a lot more awake now! Stuffed but awake!

Christmas trees, wrapping presents, decorations and all those parsnips, aren't we all keeping busy!

Rog, I hope Pops is feeling ok, sounds like one of those lifelines is an excellent idea.

Take care all til later,

A very good evening to you all....

Been a nasty old day here in Liverpool, had to go to do a review at someones house at 11 am and i got drowned going from car to house, and i went straight into a little river....Lol, i had my boots on but the water went straight through, so i have sat with wet feet until i came home.......Yuk Yuk !!

Hope you have been ok today,

Jacky xx

Hello all, hope you are well.
Its been a bad day, went to see Pops today as usual, he was in quite a bad way, so to cut a long story short i managed to get hold of a person who arranges care and help, she was there within the hour and assessed what she thought he needed, and that meant he needed to be hospitalised, like a sort of rehab clinic, i persuaded him it was a good thing and tokk him and got him admitted in less than another hour, they say they will help him to start to do things for himself again, and then supply carers when he returns home, the course is about 4 weeks, hope he will stick it that long, keep figers crossed.
Have got visitors now so will be back on later, about 10-30 ish
see you later
Rog

rog hope he does stick it , it will help him so much
good luck and everything turns out ok.


so jacky you were like a drowned rat eh!
nothing worse than your feet soaken all day
bet you looked forward to a nice hot bath .
its been bright here but really freezing the wind cut right through you .
hope all are snug and warm now
catch ya later
........................rosexx...........................

Rog, sorry to hear your Pop is not on top form,

Is he in an intermediate care bed where they do rehab ? This is what i do, there is usually an Occupational and Phisio Therapist attatched to the unit/ward, they will try to bring Pop back to his previous functioning ability and if equippment is needed ie .. frame for toilet, walking aids, bannisters, grab rails and so on, they will have them installed, they may bring him home on a visit to see how he mobilises/transfers in his own enviroment.......Once this is complete the social worker will be able to assess to see what his needs are and will try to meet them with a care package. We have a team meeting each week and discuss every person to monitor how the progress is going.
Rog, if Pop is in one of these places it will do him the world of good - such a big difference on discharge !!

Give him a big (((HUG))) from us, and you take care of yourself too!!

Jacky xx

Rose i run the bath as usual but when i got in it was roasting.........Lol, I thing it was just me being all cold and damp.......feel much better now though.
