Hi everyone
I posted a couple of days ago, the care home dad was in sent him to hospital saying he was aggressive and have refused to have him back. He was only there for just over two weeks!!Dad has shown no aggression in hospital just typical agitation and confusion. The care home was for people with dementia I feel because dad didn’t conform to the other clients sleepy, non mobile etc the home couldn’t cope with his needs.
I saw dad yesterday after four days in hospital I didn’t want to go before because I was told he would be transferred to another hospital to wait for an assessment bed. I didn’t want to unsettle him or make him sad when I had to leave he has been moved from pillar to post. Oh my so sad just after 4 days he’s lost weight looks grey, he’s not getting out of bed. Sadly he is now not wanting to eat or drink. I took over his favourite things and tried I put a bit of sandwich in his mouth his face grimaced and it just sat there it was like he didn’t know what to do with it. Last week in the home he was on his feet and eating well. I’m so sad i don’t think he’s coming out and realise maybe that’s why he’s not been transferred. I can’t see anything that is going to change him, why has this all happened in four days with being in hospital also he has no speech just babbled noises. Anyone been through this stage or similar???? What will happen to him, just lay there???
Many thanks x
