If you're relative is in hospital and being moving to a home from there, don't let the social work service bully you into taking the first available. The patient has the right to wait until their choice becomes available.
Good luck.

Sorry, got to correct you there!
Social Workers dont bully people into going into the first available care home in fact it is quite the opposite. It is the hospital that will try and discharge the patient without there being a suitable place for the person to go. The Social Worker is then forced to fight with the hospital to keep them in.
