Hi, My mum is the main carer for my dad who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s just over 2yrs ago. Unfortunately my mum has just been diagnosed with cancer so is no longer well enough to look after him.
We’re looking for a care home for dad. He has been for two assessment visits at different care homes but they won’t take him because they say he is agitated & unsettled during the visits. We are struggling to find a suitable home, I’ve been to look around another home today & it was fine, I’m sure the care would be OK, but it wasn’t very homely & wouldn’t be my 1st choice, but I feel I am running out of options.
My dad doesn’t want to go into a home & is upset when I leave him for the assessments.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
