Thank you all for your replies.... living at home with full time carers would be difficult to manage due to the dementia which seems to have amplified his aggressive nature. Before his stroke he kicked one of his carers because he didn't like her!. He was on APA level 2 before the stroke. with the nurse coming twice a day and the kine twice a week. but once we find some way through this I will let you know of the outcome. But if anyone has anymore input it would be much appreciated.

The hospital said he cannot go home and social services say all the homes are full so he would have to go back home? Is there no duty of care in France? My dad would rather stay in France as that is where my mum is buried. But what other solutions do we have?

Hi, I'm not sure I'm in the right area but I need some help. My English father has lived in France for 20+ years but we now have a problem. He has had a stroke and also suffers from heart failure and dementia (he is 85). He is in hospital and we have been told he can no longer return to his home. The homes that social services recommended to us are all full and it seems our only option is to bring him back to the UK. First to be closer to us and secondly to get the care he needs in a home/nursing home. I really don't know how to go about it. Social services here say he needs to be in the uk to be assessed but he needs to go directly into a care home or hospital. Does anyone here have any experiences that they can share? He does have a house that will be put on the market near Montpellier to pay towards he fees but how do we get as such from A to B? Thank you in advance Sandra
