Well been to hospital today and archie is having a review on chc but cannot be done for a month
The social worker has gone back to them and said I'm not having that it needs to get sorted asap
This is now stopping him from coming home cause his original carers cannot fulfill all his needs
So another day tomorrow see what that brings

Hi Sue
If you need to - refuse to have him home until he has been assessed. The law requires a fully assessed care plan. Hospitals vary some are very good. No hospital can afford to have someone fit enough to be discharged blocking a bed. Sorry for the blunt language, but it is how they see, it. Unfortunately hospitals get so desperate to discharge they can pressurise the carer to have the person home. Demand a "Fast Track CHC Assessment" if they do. Fast track literally means that... it is instant and fast. However you need to make sure you are there and fully armed with all of his needs and the care he needs. Also the risks involved with falling, impulsive behaviour etc.

Sadly too many assessors are poorly informed about PSP.
Sorry if I am being direct and business like. I know this is probably gruelling for you both.
However if the hospital pressurises them and not you, then you will get a good outcome.
Remember the ultimate budget holder for both the hospital and the CHC is the CCG... Hospital beds are expensive and they can and do do the math.
I do hope this helps and that you both get the support you both need.
Warmly
Kevin
Thank you Kevin for that I have already said he's going nowhere till they get it sorted and he's not being transferred into a n/ h to be left there till they pull there finger out
The social worker has told them that he needs fast tracking cause he needs home with the full package he needs
I will let you know how we get on

Brilliant.
But do thrust a copy of that link in front of the assessing nurse 
Forgive me if I talk to you as if you don't know... I'm just covering the bases.
Best
Kevin
