My wife is now in hospital for the seventh time since October.

Her social worker mentioned earlier this year that there had been some talk of doing a continuing care assessment for her but nothing has been mentioned since and that social worker is now on maternity leave.

My wife continues (in my view) to slowly deteriorate physically ( not mentally at the moment thank goodness) and I think I need to chase this up.

Before I phone Social Services to progress the matter, has anyone any experience of going through a continuing care assessment ( or know anything about it anyway).

The care would hopefully be at home. We currently have carers four times a day and they have been excellent but they are not medically trained and I think we need something that they or I cannot do.

Thanks
