Hello again, what do you do when your Dad needs to be moved from his current home as he cannot be managed there but yet no one will take him in another home. I'm at my wits end. I have posted on here before and got a lot of help which I am grateful for. My Dad does not want to be in a home and is fighting it (agitated). He does not think there is anything wrong with him and wants to leave. He has referred to being in prison. He is presenting with challenging behaviour which i think is sheer frustration. You won't do what I want so I'm not doing what you want. I have tried other homes EMI that deal with challenging behaviour but they won't take him due to high falls risk (in excess of 30 falls in his current home apparently that I was not aware of). Some EMI homes are full and we are on a waiting list but on looking around them they are very small/confined units. My Dad needs space to not feel confined although I don't know if we will ever find this requirement.
Do I just bring him home and get support in there practically 24/7. Everyone says I shouldn't but I don't see an answer. He can't stay where he is (not suitably placed) and I can't find another place. We are self funding and I have had no social worker only an on duty social worker for that day. I still don't know why I can't have one. They say everyone gets the same support but I don't feel like I am. I have worked through the whole process and learnt it with not much help from SS. He has vascular dementia, he is incontinent and is recovering from a broken hip sustained in his first care home EMD before being moved to his current nursing home after hospitalisation.
Please can someone advise. Many many thanks.
