Personal update
Just to thank everyone for the well wishes - all that positive thinking may have worked, as we have managed to find a care home really quickly, plus it's only ten minutes walk away from the town centre, which means both Paul and his brother can get there really easily for visiting. The manager seems to have all the right ideas about making the place a home for the residents while still providing the right level of nursing care for those that need it, rather than the clinic approach some places have where the place feels more like a hospital than somewhere to live. The room is small but the view from the window was nice - it overlooks the garden which has a hill with a zigzag path, a rowing boat and a brightly painted beach hut which sounds a bit weird but it makes something interesting to look at. Plus there are bird feeders out there too so there should be thnigs to look at.
It's probably as good a solution as we were going to find, so when the hospital chuck MIL out, she now has somewhere to go that can cater for someone with virtually no mobility and who can't speak. I'm really looking forward to settling her into a routine so Paul can start to unwind a bit - he's so tense at the moment and so tired all the time he's almost as short tempered as me!
Anyway, thanks everyone!
