"Told I would need to go into a care home"
I was assessed by an occupational therapist and was told that I had a lot of medical issues and that I would have to go into a care home. This was not what I wanted and with the support of my family I have managed to return home. There was a lack of support, encouragement or hope from the OT. They just said it would be too much for me to return home. Too much for who?
"Disgraceful refusal of an EHCP"
They refused an EHCP. It's disgraceful when our child clearly needs extra support in school. Their education is impacted because it's not in place.
"Tick boxes and unsupported"
Terrible experience. Their notes never reflected the meetings. I did not feel supported by them but judged and fearful of them. Now I just feel scared to ask for any support or help from other services. It felt like tick box exercises and just covering their own backs. Putting us in a bad light and making them look good. I asked them very politely to leave after they upset my wife and they said I threw them out which was not true of what took place at all.
"Happy with the social worker"
I have been happy with the social worker and they way they have been keeping me safe in my home.
"Only interested in money"
Community care assessors are only interested in money. First question is are they self funding, not how can we help. Instead they're walking around the house commenting about how lovely the house is. They're only interested in money.
