Visited dad at the home today and asked if he wanted to stay an extra week as the room was available.He thought about it after dinner and eventually said yes..
I can see the decline in 10 days .He has had a bath and shaved and looking clean but he has more of the “vacant “look.
He has been asking for food that he shouldn’t have but he has “capacity “so as we all know the mental capacity act we assume he has (even though I think it fluctuates)..
But he has eaten it.
I did find it funny that when the manager came to ask his address for something dad replied “5”.Then looked at me so I pretended I didn’t know.He couldn’t remember his address accept the town and village but not that he lived in a close.
She was surprised that he didn’t know it.He hasn’t for a long time or his phone number.He knows his date of birth.
As asked they have been checking if he has moved overnight.The answer is no .So he now has a grade 1 pressure sore on his bottom which I suspected weeks ago when he was at home.
Also he has now become loose in his bowels and has an accident overnight so the information is interesting..
I’m wondering if this means that I will eventually get a best interest meeting for him as he is alone overnight at home for 15 hours.
