Forbes said: “This issue has had a significant impact on Iona, and it is why I took immediate and urgent action with NHS Highland.
“I am disappointed that it has not been resolved yet and I have continued to follow up with NHS Highland to ensure Iona has carers in place to help her live as independently as she possibly can at her home.”
Scottish Care, an organisation representing the independent social care sector, said cases like Iona’s were increasing due to a lack of staff and funding.
Chief executive Donald Macaskill said such cases were not unique and people were being “taken away” from their families and communities.
“No matter how good that care and support is, they are not where they want to be, where they need to be, and where they should be,” he said.
He added: “ What matters is that people are able to live independently to live their life to the full, where they belong and where they come from.
“And if that means that we need more resource and a greater focus on ensuring that we can deliver services in remote and rural communities, then we need to do that.”
