Planning

This afternoon my sister C arrived at our Mum's from Cornwall. She was quite shocked to see just how weak, tired, and  confused our Mother  is, following her recent fall and  spell in hospital.  C had planned to stay until Friday (four nights) but has accepted she needs to stay longer to get much more care put in place before she  leaves our Mum. I am going home tomorrow .
C and I stayed up very late discussing care in the short term: creating  a daily timetable for  the carers from the  care agency to follow on their morning and evening visits, and investigating a meals on wheels service to bring our Mum lunch and a snack for supper. We discovered a local organisation offering this service.We also discussed care in the longer term, and have come to the conclusion that we need to find a suitable  care home, but where?  We decided that a care home near me in Winchester would work best for our family. I had already identified a couple I thought might be appropriate. 
Meanwhile, we still need to arrange  the outstanding cardiac tests and ensure the leg ulcer starts improving . C has arranged for a GP to call later in the  week to discuss the Hospital Discharge Summary  and the outstanding tests.
Sometimes ,my sister and I don't see eye to eye, but fortunately tonight we were in agreement on what needs to happen, and how we will tackle these sensitive subjects with our Mother tomorrow.
