Sorry to hear that, @Hosafan1, what a worrying time. Good luck with sorting the "care package"... they repeatedly told me that although Mum had been allocated 4 30-min visits / day by 2 people (via palliative team), none of the agencies would take it on board as she lived in a village, and they couldn't get staff to come out for such a short visit. Honestly, I did end up saying to them that she was only 10 or so miles from a town, not bloody Timbucktu... It was farcical. I eventually negotiated that they came out for longer, and Mum paid for the other visits... (edit: Mum could afford it, and we didn't regret paying, it was just that, since she was deemed 'palliative' they then give you a certain amount of care non-means tested)

I agree that's a problem but as it's difficult to get an appointment anyway it's purely hypothetical round here!
The nearest alternative bed is in Bristol which is only 125 miles away.
They can set up a "care package " with home visits: they take 4 weeks to set up. !
