Well done you! This is the tip of the iceberg. Again, many, many thanks. Rosemary

Thanks Stephen., very helpful. I have put forward three other homes that offer specialised dementia care.

Dear Pam I wanted to add to Stephen’s point about your position as LPA for personal welfare. From your post, it appears your mother is under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). One of the safeguards in the law is that as her attorney (officially ‘donee’) the DoLS best interests assessor m…
