Hi Everyone
My mum has vascular dementia, she lives in Peru and I live in England, she lives with my uncle and I hired a person to help with things from the house and take her to hospital appointments, etc however I see she is waking up at night and getting dressed, she had a shower at midnight once and she seems more confused and maybe not eating properly, my uncle took the house key from her because she started to wander out of the house.
I considered a care home, however I feel very bad about her leaving her home and living with strangers and leaving familiar surroundings although a couple of times she though she was not in her own house and told me that she wanted to go home, but people tell me she will be safer in care home than at home because she can have a fall, etc, I don't know what to do
