Please can anybody help or offer advice?
My Dad has been in a hospital crisis assessment unit for about six months, after being sectioned because of aggression and violence, and for the last couple of months they have been trying to find a nursing home for him to move on to. He sometimes has challenging violent and aggressive behaviour. Two weeks ago they sent him to a home for a two week trial. The home will not allow him to stay as they say that they can't manage Dad and the hospital unit will not take him back. They now want Dad to go to a psychiatric ward.
What does this mean?
Do we as his family have any input into this decision?
Please, if anyone can offer any advice, I would be very grateful.
