    Hi would anyone have any recommendations on who to speak to in relation to care homes, unfortunately my dad has to go to long term care.

    We've submitted his application, however he is currently in a public hospital and the planners are hassling us to move him.

    We've named at least six homes, however there are waiting lists, so they keep pushing us to other homes outside Dublin in some cases very far out. My mother does not drive and would not be able to visit and we have asked for details of homes where there are bus routes do she can visit.

    What is the difference between public care and private? There is no income or assets only his pension.

    Who would I best speak to to find out what he is actually entitled to in this instance. It's stressful enough without tge oressure from the hospital!

    Thanks a lot!
