This confuses me. When is a PWD bad enough to go into care? Do they have to finally not recognise who you are, go wandering? What is the criteria? My husband is unable to converse in any meaningful way with me. He refuses to shave or let me wash him. He smells offensive. He does nothing each day except sleep a lot of the time. He is not incontinent but pees in all the wrong places inside the house. He sometimes goes outside to do his business out there and comes inside smelling of poo but won't let me wash and change him. He is suffering hypersexuality, he spits on the floor (carpeted). My patience is wearing thin. When or how do you decide it's time to go into a home?
As I finished typing the above, I realised the dog was nowhere close. Husband was inside, no dog. Went outside, no dog in the yard. I called her and fortunately she responded. MH had let her out the gate! I have worried this might happen for ages. It's a miracle I got her back and didn't have to go searching the neighbourhood!
