Finally

I have found a placement for my brother-on my own of course. With any luck we'll have him fairly close.
The nursing home director has a report on his physical progress and tells me it is unlikely he'll be able to return to his apartment and live independently. Drake hospital has given me no such report, but I stirred enough to get a response and to prod them into a "family meeting" where we'll meet his doctor, therapist, social worker and ombudsman for the first time. Nice as they will discharge him on Tuesday.
I am told I will get a detailed letter from the CEO of Drake explaining all the reasons for their (non) care of  him.
It's all about money of course, I do understand this, but if I pay for services offered, I expect those services to exist.
It's odd, but I think John will rather like a nursing home. It may be a relief to him. He's personable and gets on well with people outside of his family. The man can be charming. He can bar any of us from visiting him and we'll respect his wishes. My nasty other brother will help with the papers .
I'm nervous of the meeting with the "care team" but for the first time I feel almost relaxed.
