Quality of care provided in the community is not safe for someone with complex medical Reference BS Part M[4](3b). This text has been sent by myself to NHS England so far no response. At first we set up in a hotel as finding wheelchair accessible rental accommodation was near impossible, when I was no longer working, Husband was not entitled to disability benefits at first having been abroad for a year. Getting any sort of support when classed as homeless even
the GP refused to register us, was quite an eye opener to both of us, both having paid our taxes and national insurance all our working lives. saw that our only way into the system was to rent a place that we knew would be unsuitable so that we at least had an address, to gain access to the servicesSo we bought numerous ramps as the bungalow had steps, Husband was washed in a kids paddling pool with the shower hose stretched over. suddenly, having an address, and as if by magic, district nurses, social services, GP’s all appeared to actually give a damn that we were struggling. October 2009, Husband is assessed as needing Continuing Health Care, which I hoped would mean I could return to work, so that we could be masters of our own destiny. Social Services managed to find the only available accommodation that had a small wet room, so feeling it had to be better than where we were, we moved leaving the squirrels in the roof to
themselves and our landlord without his source of free electricity to heat his(Yes, I kid you not). All this was bad enough, then after complaining for months regarding the invasion of second hand cigarette smoke coming from our neighbour she unfortunately set fire to her flat. Trapping us in our flat with smoke bellowing under our door. Luckily the fire crews brought the fire under control as I believe they were starting to think about smashing windows frames on our side to try and evacuate Husband and myself. This procedure would have certainly broken many bones in his body. Hope readers realise how angry we were about this, having near prophesised that this was a credible risk. this our GP kindly agreed to write us a letter which they hoped would aid us in convincing people that we indeed did need to move. Living on the Edge WE can not do that, I would be putting my Hubby in physical danger if I did that. He can not go 5-8 months without having a shower, not being able to gain access via ramps to the property, not being able to access several rooms due to door sizes, etc.
Also he is not well enough to live on a building site. I also have to consider the Health and Safety of our care team and myself come to that. Working in confined badly designed spaces is an accident waiting to happen. I am in constant pain at the moment because my back is close to giving out on me, due to all the manual lifting I have to do, in our currently badly designed space. Since writing this in January, our next door neighbour set her flat on fire, sadly losing her life. Despite what was reported in the local paper we did not have a safe exit option, we were trapped in our flat while they put the fire out. There was dense smoke blocking our only exit from the flat. It is even more urgent that we are moved to some where that is safe. Welcome to Waitrose Lincoln See my branch on a map Services available at Lincoln Shop online and we'll deliver to your door.
