Hi, I'm hoping that Mum will be able to stay in a Care Home whilst I go on holiday. I had thought that I'd try to arrange three nights initially and see how she was; then hopefully have a week in the autumn. However, my sister wonders whether the initial few days might be unsettling but that she would be more settled afterwards. She therefore wonders if I should try to book a month when we visit her regularly so that when I'm actually away for three days she is already settled. Has anyone any relevant experience or know of any research on the subject? Thanks, Jane with Jean
