My dad has been in a care home for 6 weeks now. He doesn't realise he's not going home and keeps asking about it. We have discussed what to do about Xmas Day. I wasn't sure if it was a good thing taking dad to one of our houses as he might decide he wants to go home and refuse to go back to the home. He had rented his house but we have cleared it and it has been rented out to someone else now. My sister feels she can cope with taking him to her house as he still knows who we are and enjoys seeing his grandkids. She will take him home as soon as she thinks he has had enough. Myself, my two sisters and maybe my brother will visit on Boxing Day as we all used to gather that day. Who knows how it will all go? I hope you all manage a good day however you manage it. I do believe you have to think of yourselves too.
