While staff were doing their best, it is not an appropriate place for someone ready for discharge to a nursing home.In his ruling, Mr Justice Kelly said the evidence was a home return would represent a risk to the woman's life and health.The current medical evidence was to the effect she is of unsound mind and lacks capacity and doctors believe she would not take medicines as required or follow pubic health guidelines in the context of Covid-19.The evidence is she has real difficulty with daily tasks and maintaining her home and personal hygiene and had not availed of meals on wheels services. 59710980_2257339460954859_14023299977875.
He was sure this woman is not the only person medically fit for discharge from hospital for whom a nursing home place is wanted.He was reviewing the case of the woman, aged in her eighties, who was admitted to the psychiatric unit last last year after suffering delusions.She was admitted under the Mental Health Act and, after those orders expired last month, said she would remain in the unit voluntarily but also indicated a number of times a wish to go home.Because it was considered her dementia and home situation made a home return unsafe, the HSE initiated wardship proceedings.On Thursday, Paul Brady BL, for the HSE, told Mr Justice Kelly the woman's doctors and family agree a nursing home is the most appropriate place for her at this time although her son hopes she will be ultimately able to return home.The woman unrealistically believes that supports previously available to her, including from her family and elderly neighbours, will continue to be available but that is not so due to Covid 19, he said.It is proving very difficult to get a nursing home place because of the Covid-19 situation and waiting lists, he said.Pending a place, counsel sought orders for the woman's continued detention in the psychiatric unit.Joan Doran, a solicitor appointed as the woman's guardian ad litem, said the woman is very agreeabe and pleasant but is also easily alarmed by events.She wants to go home and does not want to remain in the psychiatric unit which presents a "very challenging" situation for someone with her personality, Ms Doran said.
