A friend has been seriously unwell. He has been moved from hospital to a care home that he is keen to escape from. After six weeks he becomes liable for the fees. Yet the social worker is doing nothing to help him and even lied telling him his house counted towards assets which it does not for a temporary resident.
I cannot comment on child protection and similar issues but as regards elderly care they (social workers) are a useless bunch of t***s who don't deserve what they are paid!
The councillors are useless in Birmingham. I contacted him and he just kept going on that the council was short of money and he thought it was fair I should pay my father's fees even though the property was jointly owned and I lived in it and I was over 60.
The mental health nurse got Dad's funding from the NHS quickly after.
I don't know if it is true but I have been told all the councillors have a bash at the council tax payers expense every 3 months at £500 per councillor.
I also had a council letter on council paper asking me not to go near the Lord Mayors house written by the council solicitor. I ignored it as I visited a relatives house 2 doors away on a regular basis. I asked if the Lord Mayor had paid for that letter to be written and got no reply.
