Hello , my mum with Alzheimer's and mixed dementia had a fall yesterday in her carehome and has unfortunately broken her hip , waiting for a hip replacement operation .
We stayed with her until midnight but they said it'd be hours before a bed would be available. It broke my heart to leave her , but am on my own to care for her , my husband does what he can but works full time .
How do other people cope with this ? I knew she was vulnerable leaving her , but try to have faith they will understand and look after her.
Have to have some rest to be available to carry on visiting everyday .
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you xx
