My mum is currently in a nursing home two minutes from where I live, so I can visit alot, as can my sister. They have told us there can no longer care for mum as her dementia is getting worse and they are not equipped to look after her- she is also wondering alot and going in peoples bedrooms.
We have had an assessment and been told she needs EMI Reseidential.
We are stuck as to where to choose:
Do we choose a dual home(emi res and nursing) so when things do progress she can just literally move rooms, but this would mean not being near us.
OR
Do we choose a local home that has EMI Residential only, so we can still visit alot and take her out while she still enjoys it and is aware of things. Then if the time comes we will have to move her again to EMI Nursing.
ANy advice would be really appreciated as we only have around 3 weeks to sort this out and we really don't know what it the best thing to do.
Family is very important to mum and always has been and I worry she would be upset if she hardly saw us.
Thanks
