My husband has been poorly for 6 years he has COPD and spinal anteriovenous malformation, for which he had an operation in 2014. Since then he is unable to walk and is doubly incontinent. I have looked after him until June this year when I could no longer manage.
I applied for CNC which eventually received but I found the process very stressful, lack of communication, unable to reach the manager.
Offered a place in Exeter 15 miles away, which for me was difficult as I have a mobility problem. The nursing homes seem to be reluctant to deal with this over the internet and it seems very impersonal and it took a very long time.
I felt I was living in Limbo for many weeks.
Exmouth hospital helped me through this and have been very caring towards me and my husband. I would not like to go through this again and I think your methods should be revised.
